""Carver and Lyddon demonstrate how analysis of gender and sexualities can be transformative, profoundly altering understandings of International Relations from concepts of legitimacy and sovereignty to practices of militarism, arms production and trade."" Mary Hawkesworth, Rutgers University ""BAE's M-777 howitzers, Raytheon's Javelin anti-tank missiles - they've become everyday topics during Putin's war on Ukraine. This gender-smart investigation of weapons trade fairs and arms trade treaties reveals that the heterosexualized, masculinized hierarchy of the Rational Man and the Warrior Man is a crucial pillar of legitimizing militarism. In exposing this pillar, the analysis makes militarism less potent."" Cynthia Enloe, author of The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging Persistent Patriarchy ""A compelling and groundbreaking analysis of how masculinities shape and are shaped by the global arms trade. This important book is a must read for security studies scholars as well as activists resisting global militarism."" J. Ann Tickner, University of Southern California
