Minorities and the Military

?A cross-national' study of the experience (and relative role) of minorities in the armed forces of Belgium, Canada, Britain, and the US. In essence, the author is challenging the views expressed by Morris Janowitz, Charles Moskos, Lucian Pye, Edward Shils, and others that the military serves as a means of upward mobility for minority groups....The writing is clear, and Young's thesis is provocative.
