Uneasy Warriors presents a rare and intimate view into the psychological and social workings of the Self-Defense Forces. As the first scholar permitted to participate in basic Self-Defense Forces training, Frühstück offers a firsthand look at an army trained for combat that nevertheless serves nontraditional military needs. She expertly describes their ambiguous status, revealing insights gained from several years of sustained research, including a stint "in uniform" at an army base near Mt. Fuji.
