Description
Chris Hedges' What Every Person Should Know About War offers a stark and unvarnished look at the effects of war on combatants. This manual relies on bare fact, frank description, and a spare question-and-answer format to convey the brutal realities of modern conflict.
The book poses dozens of questions that young soldiers might ask about combat, and then answers them by quoting from medical and psychological studies. These questions cover topics such as the physical and psychological consequences of combat, the effects of artillery shells, and the long-term consequences of combat stress.
This portrayal of the horrors to which our armed forces are subjected stands as a powerful indictment of the glorification of war and the concealment of its barbarity. A thought-provoking and devastating exploration of one of the most pressing issues of our time.
