War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning by Chris Hedges
4.0
This particular book reads like a collection of essays that the Author put together, and it reads beautifully. Our world is plagued by war, and Hedges goes in depth about what he sees in war, from the Plague of Nationalism to the ever entwining threads of Eros and Thanatos.
Despite using the examples of the Yugoslav wars, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the dirty wars of Latin America, Hedges forms a narrative that states that all countries have the same reaction to war. All countries experience the same things in War. He breaks the myth of war to shed light on what War is. A force that really does give humanity meaning.
