Chris Hedges piece, to look at as I listen to the audio book of War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning.
The book is drawn from Hedge’s experience as a war correspondent and a prize winning writer ( he does a lot of pieces for Harper’s) He also looks at the sociological/psychological ploys of nations (such as ours) that instill in us a “devotion” to war.
It’s been hard to find an audio book to follow the Shane Claiborne book that enticed me to join audible.com and then do the $100 gift certificate for Crutchfield (I bought the 4gb iPod for essentially half price), but this book jumped out at me as a perused audible.com today.
