Krieg dem Kriege! Guerre à la Guerre! War against War! Oorlog aan den Oorlog! by Ernst Friedrich
5.0
Humphrey Cobb, author of Paths of Glory, said that "The only effective anti-war propaganda that I know is photographs of butchered bodies-the more horrible the better."
Ernst Friedrich provides that requirement in War Against War which should be able to slap the militarism out of many a hardened patriot. Friedrich serves as compiler and editor, allowing the photographs to serve their own ends coated by sparse text in four languages and arranged in crescendo from childhood toy soldiers thru poor debilitated veterans and the untouched plutocrats-mashed faces, ripped limbs, sunken trenches, bones and graves. The whole world here has become a cemetery of soldiers but also glory.
The only denouement is for fine turns of phrase: 'dulce et decorum est pro patria mori' ignominiously slaughtered while the human dead are disinterred (often literally) and yet roam as broken men- the more horrible the more undead.
