Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unlike most critiques of the recent decision by the U.S. military to place women in combat units, Women in Combat probes deeply into feminism's assumptions about human nature. Atkins argues that the understanding of freedom and equality spawned by the Enlightenment - and given powerful impetus by the Industrial Revolution - has led to an erosion of the most fundamental distinctions between man and woman. Women's 'liberation' has resulted not in enhanced dignity for women, but in the abandonment of their uniquely feminine honor. In his often humorous assault upon modern feminism, Atkins takes no prisoners. He asserts that any attempt to revolt against nature is doomed to failure. It is woman's nature to take flight in the face of danger, to protect her offspring, and to assume her responsibility as the heart and soul of the home. By contrast, it is man's nature to stand firm in the face of danger, to protect his family and his people when they are threatened. The institutionalization of women in combat is largely due to a unique set of historical circumstances and technological developments that have fostered the idea that warfare is no longer typified by close-quarters combat. While it is understandable how such an illusion has gained traction, it is one that will inevitably be shattered when the U.S. faces another major war on the scale of the two World Wars of the 20th century.________________Mark Atkins has written an excellent book on a key national security issue which affects the capability of our military forces - Women in Combat. He thoroughly discusses the pros and cons. It is clear there are many viable roles for women in our military, but combat is not one of them! -Admiral James 'Ace' Lyons, USN Retired, Commander US Pacific Fleet 1985-1987, two time recipient of the Distinguished Service MedalWomen in Combat is a great, educational read! . . . He rightly blames the feminist movement and I will blame the feminization of our military at least in part for its low morale today. I recommend that every American who serves our military and understands its purpose read this book and share and discuss it with others.- Colonel Jim Harding, USAF Retired, recipient of the Air Force Cross and the 25th most decorated American fighting man of all timeToday the Will supersedes God and Nature. It is against the law to display the Ten Commandments in State Court Houses. Man and Woman are abolished in favor of the arbitrary concept of 'gender.' A man can become a woman, and a woman a man. Same sex couples can become 'man and wife.' Women in Combat exposes this rebellion in the military with arguments unanswerable to any mind not breathing the fumes of political correctness. -Donald W. Livingston, Professor of Philosophy, Emory University; Fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of EdinburghGeorge Orwell said about our times: 'We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.' Mark Atkins is one of those men who has ably restated the truth: that the idea of women in combat is a violation of human nature and Western civilization. Atkins' book presents the conclusive case. -Clyde N. Wilson, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History, University of South Carolina.…
