Replying to War is a force that gives us meaning

Read this book. It's by a war correspondant who has seen the reality of war and been to hell and back many times over the last 30 years. He's seen countless terrible atrocities committed, he's been shot, tortured, and imprisoned and he gives an unbiased and true account of the perversion and seduction of war. Basically I've come to realize that half the killing countries do in wars is murdering innocent people, and that these killers will never face justice. The point of this book is not that we should never fight a war, because some are necessary, but that the reality of war is much different than we think. Imagine if news channels were allowed to cover the real fighting, the cold-blooded executions, the raping, pillaging, and genocides that have marked most every war for the last hundred years. Maybe we wouldn't be so eager to go to war.
