Fallgirls
Fallgirls provides an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib in terms of social theory, gender and power, based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts-martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. This book examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, Fallgirls engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike. Providing a unique perspective and a thorough theoretical examination of the events, their framing and depiction, this book will be of interest to sociologists, feminists, and social and political theorists concerned with cultural studies, political communication and gender and sexuality.
Rogue Soldier
He called himself simply Staff Sergeant Keith, but word around C Troop had it that the spooky guy in tiger fatigues wasn't an enlisted man, maybe not even Army. Some thought he was CiA. But the troops were told that he had their commander's blessing, so they took him along. C Troop was engaged in its toughest fight of the war, flying South Vietnamese soldiers and supplies across the border into Laos in an audacious attempt, late in the war, to turn the tide, cut American losses and shorten the war. The North Vietnamese Army waited in hiding, picking off helicopters and, when the time was right, battering South Vietnamese ground forces with tanks, heavy artillery and everything they had. Ed Keith actually did turn out to be a staff sergeant, but he was no ordinary soldier. Keith had fought with the Special Forces, spoke Mandarin Chinese, and was trained to collect signals intelligence from enemy radios and phone lines, analyze it, and send what he learned through little-known channels to the National Security Agency and other under-cover outfits bent on outsmarting the enemy. He decided on his own he could be more useful helping helicopter crews spot their targets before the targets shot them down. He also believed he had a gift for doing that. Keith flew numerous missions, unauthorized by and unknown to his own commanding officer. His luck ran out, however, and an enemy machine gun ended the war for Staff Sergeant Keith. It was the beginning of a painful, lifelong struggle.
