The Greatest Evil is War by Chris Hedges
In the twenty years since the publication of War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, Chris Hedges has not wanted to write another book on the subject of war-until now, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine. In fifteen short chapters, Chris Hedges astonishes us with his clear and cogent argument against war, not on philosophical grounds or through moral arguments, but in an irrefutable stream of personal encounters with the victims of war, from veterans and parents to gravely wounded American serviceman who served in the Iraq War, to survivors of the Holocaust, to soldiers in the Falklands War, among others. Hedges reported from Sarajevo, and was in the Balkans to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today it is important again to be reminded who are the victors of the spoils of war and of other unerring truths, not only in this war but in all modern wars, where civilians are always the main victims, and the tools and methods of war are capable of so much destruction it boggles the mind.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has written for a variety of publications. With fifteen years with the New York Times, he spent nearly two decades as a correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans. Empire of Illusion, Death of the Liberal Class, War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, and Days of Destruction, Days of Rebellion, which he co-wrote with Joe Sacco, are among his many best-selling novels. He contributes a weekly column on the website Truthdig. He is a resident of Princeton, New Jersey.
