Synopsis

Here, veteran war correspondent Chris Hedges provides a complex, moving and thought-provoking reflection on how life is lived most intensely in times of war. Hedges has reported the front lines in the Balkans, the Middle East and Central America, and is troubled by what he sees: friends, enemies, colleagues and strangers intoxicated and even addicted to the heady brew of war. He tackles this ugly truth of the human animal with a sophisticated, nuanced and intelligent response that aims to be gritty and powerful.

About this title

Book Description:

"This book is an example of the best kind of war journalism: It is bitterly poetic and ruthlessly philosophical. It sends out a powerful message to people contemplating the escalation of the war against terrorism." -Los Angeles Times Book Review
