Synopsis
In this exposé of the seductive and corrupting power of war for individuals and societies, Hedges draws upon his own experiences and events he has witnessed as a correspondent in far-off lands. He also balances these with writings on war by writers from the Classical period to the present day. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Publisher's Note
As a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: “It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living.” Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies, corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting the most basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary.
Industry reviews
"[A]fter a decade and a half of war reporting, Hedges hung it up. He has stepped back to reflect on the carnage he witnessed. The result is a brilliant, thoughtful, timely and unsettling book whose greatest merit is that it will rattle jingoists, pacifists, moralists, nihilists, politicians and professional soldiers equally. War, Hedges finds, 'exposes the capacity for evil that lurks not far below the surface within all of us.' We are all culpable." New York Times Book Review - Robin Marantz Henig (09/29/2002) "Mr. Hedges's timely book is a potent and eloquent warning of a potentially dangerous 'fusion between those in the state who wage war...and those who believe they understand and can act as agents for God.'" New York Times - Robert Mann (10/22/2002) "WAR IS A FORCE THAT GIVES US MEANING painfully and profoundly illustrates how conflict destroys those it engulfs, not only in the sense of physical death but in terms of individual and collective spirit, culture and polity. Hedges...has produced an insightful, provocative and elegantly written work." Nation - Joseph Nevins (11/18/2002) "Chris Hedges's WAR IS A FORCE THAT GIVES US MEANING is in a category all its own....[His] extremely moving book should be read by anyone fascinated by this least understood and most terrible of human follies, and especially by those who have any responsibility for conceiving, planning, or conducting future wars." New York Review of Books - Brian Urquhart (10/09/2003)
