War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning

BY CHRIS HEDGES

Brief Description:
As a War correspondent, Hedges has covered conflicts in the Middle East, the Balkans, Central America, Africa. He uses his first-hand knowledge of the horrors of war, as well as knowledge of literature from Homer to Herr , and his master of divinity from Harvard University, to reflect on the nature of human violence and myth-making. Having suffered through his own "addiction" to war, he concludes that even if we cannot eradicate fighting among nations, love remains a virtue worth pursuing.
