Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo. xiii, 256pp, ondex, bibliography, notes. Or boards. Tiny bump to fore-edge front cover. Blends theory and case analysis to explore the underlying social dynamics that influence how society responds to the threats and perils of war using Israel as a compelling case study to explore the global dynamics and security implications of casualty sensitivity. Israel, the author argues, originally chose to risk soldiers mobilized from privileged classes more than civilians and other soldiers. The state gradually restructured what Levy calls its death hierarchy to favour privileged soldiers over soldiers from lower classes and cicilians, placing enemy civilians at the bottom of the hierarchy by the use of heavy firepower. As the Gaza offensive of 2009 this new death hierarchy has opened Israel to global criticism.
