Book Synopsis
Examines the mythology of the peacekeeper and how it functions to sustain militarism in global politics

Trade Review
"Through a nuanced and wide-ranging discourse analysis, Nicole Wegner derives the concept of martial peace", produced and reproduced in/through the mythology of peacekeeping. In turn, martial peace performs a key role in legitimising militarisation and war. With resonance far beyond the case of Canada, which is the focus of Wegner's meticulous analysis here, critical engagement with how peace is martialled to justify violence is a necessary precursor to the imagining of anti-militarist and anti-oppressive futures."" -Laura Shepherd, University of Sydney
