Abstract
This book is about the experience of British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. It utilizes the growing phenomenon of British soldier ‘herographies’ or TiC-Lit (Troops in Combat Literature) – autobiographical reflections on their experiences of war – to explore how British soldiers make sense of what they are doing on these complex, multi-dimensional operations which are not quite war, not quite peacebuilding. It aims to intervene in the debates within critical feminist scholarship over whether soldiers can ever be agents of peace.
