Militainment, Inc. offers provocative, sometimes disturbing insight into the ways that war is presented and viewed as entertainment-or "militainment"-in contemporary American popular culture. War has been the subject of entertainment for centuries, but Roger Stahl argues that a new interactive mode of militarized entertainment is recruiting its audience as virtual-citizen soldiers.

Roger Stahl is Assistant Professor of Speech Communication at the University of Georgia. His work has appeared in publications such as Rhetoric and Public Affairs, The Quarterly Journal of Speech, and Critical Studies in Media Communication. He wrote, produced, and narrated the 2007 documentary film Militainment, Inc.: Militarism and Pop Culture, which is distributed by the Media Education Foundation.
