About the Book: Unmaking War: Remaking Men
One day on a beach Kathleen Barry witnessed an accidental death. The people on
the beach ? strangers until that moment ? were drawn together by the event
through empathy. Out of that experience came questions for the author: what is
the value of human lives? How do we make interconnections through relationship
and shared consciousness? In Unmaking war remaking men, Kathleen Barry examines
the experiences of soldiers in training and combat as well as their victims,
through a politics of empathy.
