Organized around three modes of war representation--live, screen-based, and interactive--this book provides an overview of the nature, function, and appeal of war games. The first chapter on live war games discusses activities such as chess, football, and battle re-enactments. The second chapter looks at the simulated, intense gaze via movies such as Saving Private Ryan, The Hurt Locker, and American Sniper. The final chapter considers the role of video games and other interactive technologies, such as Doom, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and other simulated war experiences via helmet cams and drone warfare. In approaching these conceptual categories, Jonna Eagle highlights key tensions in the relationship of media and war and allows for an emphasis on both the historical evolution of the simulated war experience and the continuity of issues and impulses across this evolution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Live -- On screen -- Interactive. 650 0 $a War games. 650 0 $a War films. 650 0 $a Computer war games. 650 0 $a War in mass media $x History. 650 0 $a Mass media and war $x History. 830 0 $a Quick takes 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303020414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F74D61122DF611EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
