Beschreibung:
Emphasising the significance of foreign languages at the centre of war and conflict, this book argues that 'foreignness' and foreign languages are key to our understanding of what happens in war. Through case studies the book traces the role of languages in intelligence, military deployment, soldier/civilian meetings, occupation and peace building.
Presents a new map of war which is framed by the 'foreignness' of conflict, and which for the first time places foreign languages at the core and centre of war
