1 online resource (xvi, 302 pages) : illustrations, maps
Many have long suspected that when America takes up arms it is a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight. In 'The Casualty Gap' Douglas Kriner and Francis Shen renew the debate over unequal sacrifice by bringing to light mountains of new evidence on the inequality dimensions of American wartime casualties.
The casualty gap -- Inequality and U.S. casualties from WWII to Iraq -- Selection, occupational assignment, and the emergence of the casualty gap -- Do casualty gaps matter? -- How local casualties shape politics -- Political ramifications of the Vietnam casualty gap -- Political ramifications of the Iraq casualty gap -- The casualty gap and civic engagement -- The future of the casualty gap.
