| Summary: | Wars We Never Fought offers sixteen accessible and wide-ranging critical essays, with insight into how and why creators in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and related genres use war as a device within the diegetic worlds of their stories, what the depictions of war and warriors within these texts suggest regarding notions such as race, class, gender, sexuality, difference, sociopolitical power and other cultural values and how the textual dramatization of entirely fictitious wars might reflect, interrogate and even structure understanding of warfare in the "real world." |
