Languages and the Military cover

Through detailed case studies ranging from the 18th century until today,this book explores the role of foreign languages in military alliances, in occupation and in peace building. It brings together academic researchers and practitioners from the museum and interpreting worlds and the military.

“In Languages and the Military, the editors provide excellent case studies which raise hitherto undiscussed topics. … A broad range of sources have been used in preparing this volume, including institutional publications and (annual) reports, interviews, parliamentary discussions, documents of state institutions. This breadth makes the book particularly valuable for readers working on similar topics.” (Tamara Scheer, European History Quarterly, Vol. 46 (1), 2016)
