Hardback. Condición: New. In today's information era, the use of specific words and language can serve as powerful tools that incite violence-or sanitize and conceal the ugliness of war. This book examines the complex, "twisted" language of conflict.Why is the term "collateral damage" used when military strikes kill civilians? What is a "catastrophic success"? What is the difference between a privileged and unprivileged enemy belligerent? How does deterrence differ from detente? What does "hybrid warfare" mean, and how is it different from "asymmetric warfare"? How is shell shock different from battle fatigue and PTSD? These are only a few of the questions that Talking Conflict: The Loaded Language of Genocide, Political Violence, Terrorism, and Warfare answers in its exploration of euphemisms, "warspeak," "doublespeak," and propagandistic terms.This handbook of alphabetically listed entries is prefaced by an introductory overview that provides background information about how language is used to obfuscate or minimize descriptions of armed conflict or genocide and presents examples of the major rhetorical devices used in this subject matter. The book focuses on the "loaded" language of conflict, with many of the entries demonstrating the function of given terms as euphemisms, propaganda, or circumlocutions. Each entry is accompanied by a list of cross references and "Further Reading" suggestions that point readers to pertinent sources for further research. This book is ideal for students-especially those studying political science, international relations, and genocide-as well as general readers.…

Condición: Sehr gut. 1. 335 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. In den Jahren 1942 und 1943 wurden Tausende junger Männer aus den Reihen der deutschen Minderheiten in Rumänien und Ungarn in die Armeen des Deutschen Reiches eingezogen, meist zu den kämpfenden Truppen der Waffen-SS. Sie dienten bis zuletzt als Kanonenfutter im schon verlorenen Krieg eines menschenverachtenden Regimes. Friedrich Umbrich erzählt in ergreifender Weise von reichsdeutscher Verführung in der heilen Welt seiner siebenbürgischen Kindheit und Jugend, den Schrecken des Krieges auf dem Kampfplatz Balkan zwischen Alliierten, Tschetniks und Partisanen und der nicht weniger erschütternden Zeit der Kriegsgefangenschaft in Italien und England. Die Rückkehr in die Westzone Deutschlands und die Auswanderung nach Kanada bilden den Schluss seiner Schilderung, die von Anna M. Wittmann aufgezeichnet, kritisch recherchiert und wo nötig kommentiert wurde. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 624 Gebundene Ausgabe, Maße: 15.9 cm x 2.7 cm x 23.6 cm.…
