Men, Women and War by Martin Van Creveld

Thoughout history women have kept away from the front line of battle. With a few exceptions, the role of women in wartime has always been one of support for the men who do the fighting. But now, at the beginning of a new century, all that has changed, and for the first time ever women are beginning to win places in the front line. It is a revolution that feminists everywhere have praised. However, as the author argues here, while the influx of women into the army might be an interesting social experiment, in military terms it is a disaster. In this ground-breaking and controversial new book, Martin van Creveld argues that the job of waging war should be left exclusively to men.
Martin van Creveld is Professor of Military History at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He is an internationally acknowledged military historian whose works have been translated into nine languages.
