Given current political and social realities, an academic book that addresses women and gender in the military from a comparative perspective is an important as well as an ambitious undertaking. The foreword to this book, by Melanne Verveer, begins with a statement that should be self-evident: ‘The prevention of conflict, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of peace and security worldwide cannot be achieved without the full and equal participation of women’ (p. vii). For those of us who work and do research in security studies and who have been addressing the importance of the inclusion of women in all aspects of the process, beginning a book like this with such an assertion is important. And while the importance of the equal participation of women in the military underlies each of the chapters, not all make the case effectively nor is the issue of ‘gender’ an ongoing theme.
