War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
- War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
"War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning" is a 2002 nonfiction book by 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. The book was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year, as well as a national bestseller.
The book is available as an unabridged audio book, read by Chris Hedges himself.
