Description:
On War gathers together some of the finest writing on that troubling subject published in Raritan between 2003 and 2022. The editors, Jackson Lears and Karen Parker Lears, have selected work that typifies Raritan's wide-ranging sensibility--focusing on a topic that is aesthetically rich, intellectually challenging, and morally disturbing. It is also all too timely.
Review Quotes: "Jackson and Karen Lears have given us a compelling and relevant collection of writings revealing the human, geopolitical, and moral costs of America's long engagement with perpetual global war. Raritan on War is a profoundly important intervention in its revelations of the human consequences--at home and abroad--of the bipartisan commitment to war making."--Katrina vanden Heuvel "editorial director and publisher, The Nation" (9/7/2024 12:00:00 AM)
