The twenty-first century has witnessed a pervasive militarization of aesthetics with Western military institutions co-opting the creative worldmaking of art and merging it with the destructive forces of warfare. This book examines the origins of this unlikely merger, showing that today's creative warfare is merely the extension of a historical development that began long ago.
