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.

A man listing problems for 6 and a half hours
Revisado: 04-10-22
The easiest thing in the word is to list what’s wrong with the world and blame it on nebulous concepts like “the human condition”. Listing solutions is much harder.
For six and a half hours this man with lost things that are wrong with the world and tell stories of human suffering. When finally he gets around to what might be done about it the answer is love (a word he will repeat 50 times a minute for the last half hour of the book). It was infuriating to be explained to over and over again that killing people is a bad thing to do. We didn’t need that in a book. We all know. Also he went to Harvard, a fact he will never let you forget as he mentions it every chance he gets.
The author is pretty good at reading aloud though so I’m not going to knock the performance. I Lima tell I’d recommend this only to people who don’t already know that killing people is wrong as this man will do nothing but drill that into your skill for 6 hours straight.

All rights belong to J.K Rowling. This is a fan fiction (HPMOR) written by Eliezer Yudkowsky.

Sh*t... I'm out of episodes
Revisado: 01-11-21
I've been binge listening to this for 85 episodes. That's over 60 hours of my life sunk into this story and now I have to wait a week for each episode like a chump. God I wish there were 85 more that I could dive straight into but alas I must now venture into the outside world and pay attention to such trite things as my health, my friends, and my loved ones.
