| Summary/Abstract |
In 2010, Armadillo brought home the realities of war to a hitherto unaware Danish public. Filmed over the course of three months by a small crew embedded with the Danish contingent in Afghanistan, Janus Metz's documentary shot to number one in Denmark's box office in the week of its release and sparked a heated debate on the country's role in Afghanistan. Two years on, the political debate continues - this time over the allegedly controversial decision not to close the Armadillo base even after its strategic relevance had been superseded. In this poignant interview, Janus Metz goes back to the heart of documentary-making to talk about the representation of war, the difficulties of maintaining objectivity, and the fine line between reality and art.

| Summary/Abstract |
New information technologies and the rise of social media are changing the relationship between media and warfare. Scholars and observers of this relationship have advanced many interpretations of these changes, yet, Peter Busch argues, none has offered a satisfactory approach to contemporary war reporting. Rather than focus on traditional concepts of truth and objectivity, Busch encourages war correspondents to embrace personal, involved, subjective journalism. Only by becoming close to the story can journalists successfully convey the nature of warfare.

| Summary/Abstract |
The British experience in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade has been characterised by an unprecedented focus on force protection. Far from remaining confined to the military domain, force protection evolved into a highly politicised issue, becoming a chosen symbol of governmental competence (or lack thereof) in the party-political confrontation of the 2010 general election. But to what extent was this politicisation an indication of more profound changes in British strategic culture? Mark Clegg shows how the political discourse of force protection between 2006 and 2010 did not, in fact, spill over into a strategic cultural change, but suggests that the issue will remain at the centre of British public debate for a long time to come.

| Summary/Abstract |
Polemical assaults on air power offer potentially comforting, but ultimately misleading, advice to policy-makers. Alexander McKenzie argues that a more nuanced appreciation of its unique attributes as a lever of strategy indicates that far from being in terminal decline, air power remains a vital component of military force across the spectrum of conflict.
