War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning

Chris Hedges

Kao ratni izvjestitelj veteran, Chris Hedges je preživio zasjede u Srednjoj Americi, zatvor u Sudanu i premlaćivanje od strane saudijske vojne policije.

Oslanjajući se na vlastito iskustvo i literaturu o borbi od Homera do Michaela Herra, Hedges pokazuje kako rat zavodi ne samo one na prvim crtama nego cijela društva, kvareći politiku, uništavajući kulturu i izopačujući najosnovnije ljudske želje. Miješajući tvrdokorni realizam s dubokim moralnim i filozofskim uvidom, Rat je sila koja nam daje smisao djelo je užasne snage i iskupljujuće jasnoće čije istine nikada nisu bile potrebnije.
