Patton famously said, \"Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, I do love it so!\" Though Patton was a notoriously single-minded general, it is nonetheless a sad fact that war gives meaning to many lives, a fact with which we have become familiar now that America is once again engaged in a military conflict. War is an enticing elixir. It gives us purpose, resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chris Hedges of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e has seen war up close -- in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central America -- and he has been troubled by what he has seen: friends, enemies, colleagues, and strangers intoxicated and even addicted to war's heady brew. In \u003ci\u003eWar Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e, he tackles the ugly truths about humanity's love affair with war, offering a sophisticated, nuanced, intelligent meditation on the subject that is also gritty, powerful, and unforgettable.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning | Chris Hedges | Paperback | 9781610393591 | Used: Very Good | Politics 1696659","offer_id":48751111536792,"sku":"1696659","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/610VI6eVZmL.jpg?v=1773950819","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/war-is-a-force-that-gives-us-meaning","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
