Assignment:
One of the best examples of the way in which social class affects life chances is the idea of "The Casualty Gap". The burdens of war, including, importantly, the dying, are not distributed equally---they are differently born by the poor. After reading the attached review of Douglas Kriner and Francis Shen's new book The Casualty Gap, discuss the implications of this gap which we have come to accept as an inevitable consequence of going to war.
