I will post recommendations for books I am reading or have recently finished. My first book is War is a Force that Gives us Meaning

In addition to Krugman's mention of the book this week, Hedges' book is very much worth the read. In just under 200 pages Hegdes discusses the complicated relationship modern society has with the idea of war, including the power of nationalism, the corrupting impact war has on history and collective memory, and the allure of war to modern society. This book is a must read.
