Author M. C. Armstrong introduces and explores America's post-9\/11 soldier-writers, a community that challenges pivotal contemporary assumptions about allegiance, democracy, geography, solidarity, and national identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapters are organized around a triad of core concepts-parrhesia, cosmopolitanism, and dissensus-and discuss authors including Elliot Ackerman, Kristin Beck, Joseph Hickman, Phil Klay, Kevin Powers, and Edward Snowden. Armstrong argues that this scene represents a literary movement and perhaps the most significant literary community since the Beat Generation, and \u003ci\u003eVeteran Activism and the Global War on Terror\u003c\/i\u003e reads the work of these writers as the loci of a \"dissenting\" overhaul of the official narratives and rhetorical maps that chart the United States' Global War on Terror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
