    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #1 War is not politics by other means. It is a demon. The primary lesson in war is that we, as distinct individuals, do not matter. We become numbers, fodder, and objects.

    #2 There are no good wars. None. The bellicose rhetoric embraced and amplified by the American press is infantile and dangerous.

      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      War is not politics by other means. It is demonic. I have covered wars in Nicaragua, Basra, and Bosnia, and I have felt the fear and helplessness that comes with them. I have heard the wails of those convulsed by grief as they clutch the bodies of friends and family members.

      #2

      The landscape of war is hallucinogenic. It defies comprehension. War, like the Holocaust, is unknowable. It destroys all systems that sustain and nurture life, and leaves behind smoldering ruins and a trauma that you carry for the rest of your life.

      Insights from Chapter 2

      #1

      The war industry did not intend to shrink
