+ Want to read

Militainment, Inc. offers insight into the ways that war is presented and viewed as entertainment -or militainment- in contemporary American popular culture, including video games, sports, movies, television, and toy merchandising. Stahl argues that a new interactive mode of militarized entertainment is recruiting its audience as virtual-citizen soldiers.
