'The essays collected by Rau offer a broad and provocative analysis of the "vanishing body", ranging across the twentieth-century in term os of literature and history...This is a valuable collection of essays which builds on the Foucauldian-inspired work associated with the body as a historically shifting construct and connects it to a series of hithero minor texts in the literature of war.' - Routledge ABES June 2011
