| THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MILITARY HUMOUR Brig. J Nazareth  • Brings to life the evocative, colourful nature of military humour – black as it can be This book is the most comprehensive work on the subject and perhaps the only one that focuses solely on military humour. Everyone enjoys humour, and military humour has a particular appeal because it is created in an environment that some might say offers the maximum opportunity for its exploitation. It will also bring the general reader closer to understanding the military milieu and the working of the military mind. Of interest to all those wishing to understand the nature of military service, it divulges a unique insight into the life of a soldier, and the daily pressures they face on the frontlines, and in turn how they cope. It also reveals a new dimension in the exercise of military command by the use of humour to mitigate the stresses and strains of peace and war. The student of psychology should also find this book useful because it presents the difficult subject of humour in general, in a comprehensive and readable form. About the AuthorJ Nazareth is a well-respected military psycho-analyst who critiques various aspects of military life and its history.
