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)
