In a book at once politically significant and narratively engaging, Taylor blends genres to question the roles of individuals within society and expose the gritty and emotional underpinnings of the seemingly mechanical process of a remote soldier.\u003cbr\u003e From conversations with her own brother about his military experiences to Punch and Judy, from the original tale of Pinocchio to the radio chatter of soldiers in active drone operation, Taylor writes about family, power, and the \"theater\" of war in a voice both sly and sobering, heartbreaking and hopeful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814254325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Catherine Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644551557276,"sku":"9780814254325","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_edd844ea-cd1c-47e4-b7b1-a6ece72681e1.jpg?v=1603858882","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/you-me-and-the-violence-9780814254325","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
