Description

Many anthropological accounts of warfare in indigenous societies have described the taking of heads or other body parts as trophies.

But almost nothing is known of the prevalence of trophy-taking of this sort in the armed forces of contemporary nation-states.

This book is a history of this type of misconduct among military personnel over the past two centuries, exploring its close connections with colonialism, scientific collecting and concepts of race, and how it is a model for violent power relationships between groups.
