War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
by Hedges, Chris
War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is a 2002 nonfiction book by socialist journalist Chris Hedges. In the book, Hedges draws on classical literature and his experiences as a war correspondent to argue that war seduces entire societies, creating fictions that the public believes and relies on to continue to support conflicts. He also describes how those who experience war may find it exhilarating and addicting.
