Hedges reported from Sarajevo, and was in the Balkans to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2002 he published \u003ci\u003eWar Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e, which the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e described as \"the best kind of war journalism... bitterly poetic and ruthlessly philosophical\" and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e called \"a brilliant, thoughtful, timely, and unsettling book.\" In the twenty years since, Hedges has not wanted to write another book on the subject of war--until now, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine. It is important again to be reminded who are the victors of the spoils of war and of other unerring truths, not only in this war but in all modern wars, where civilians are always the main victims, and the tools and methods of war are capable of so much destruction it boggles the mind. This book is an unflinching indictment of the horror and obscenity of war by one of our finest war correspondents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Hedges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644212935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644212936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2022","brand":"Chris Hedges","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056767922431,"sku":"9781644212936","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9aaa0c1-c467-4122-abb8-52f9f3dd57b1.jpg?v=1685043162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greatest-evil-is-war-chris-hedges-9781644212936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
