May 16: Professor Musheno's 9th book published
Professor Musheno's latest book, co-authored with Susan Ross of Lycoming College, is called DEPLOYED: HOW RESERVISTS BEAR THE BURDEN OF IRAQ (University of Michigan Press, 2008) and is his first book intended for the broad, reading public. Using the soldiers' own voices, DEPLOYED draws upon the life stories of members of an Army Reserve MP Company, who were called to extraordinary service after 9/11. The book challenges the prevailing stereotype of returning soldiers as war-dmaged citizens and at the same time, argues that reservists have become the new conscripts of the 21st Century U.S. Army. DEPLOYED is available on Amazon and bookstores throughout the U.S.
