- 战地记者一线观察，带来毫无妥协的犀利批判
“Hedges 援引从荷马、莎士比亚到 Erich Maria Remarque 和 Michael Herr 的战争文学作品，揭示了人类是如何被潜移默化地接受他所称的‘战争神话’——即认为战斗是崇高、无私且光荣的。然而，如果人类历史能够提供任何借鉴的话，那就是各国与各帝国恰恰是在轻信了关于战争和关于自身的蛊惑神话时，才走向蹒跚乃至覆灭。Hedges 亲历的战争真相，是对文化的摧毁、对人类欲望的扭曲，以及最终对死亡凌驾于生命之上的顺从。”——书封折页介绍。

……格律与诗歌形式，但原因各不相同。同类型的其他书： - 《战士：关于战场上的人的思考》（The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle），J·格伦·格雷著（格雷是哲学博士，战时担任少尉） - 《战争是赋予我们意义的力量》（War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning），克里斯·赫奇斯著（赫奇斯曾任巴尔干半岛及多起其他冲突的战地记者，这本书更多关注的是普通社会在走向战争过程中的心理酝酿，及其对……
…Meter & Poetic Form, but for different reasons. Other books in the same vein: - The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle by J Glenn Gray (Gray was a philosophy PhD and a 2nd Lieutenant in the war) - War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning by Chris Hedges (Hedges was a war correspondent during the balkans and numerous other conflicts, this is much more interested in the psychological build up to war in common society, and its effects on…
……我真的很好奇你会跟他们说什么，教他们当初怎么做才能不成为你的靶子。建议你好好照照镜子清醒一下，顺便去找一本克里斯·赫奇斯的《战争是赋予我们意义的力量》（War is a force that gives us meaning）来看看。“战争中没有无辜者”是南斯拉夫那种冲突里教科书式的战吼。这就是在战术上把敌人非人化，通过塑造一个脸谱化的靶子来把人群动员……
…am really curious about what you would tell them what they should have done to not become a target for you. Would recommend a sober look in the mirror as well as maybe getting a copy of Chris Hedges "War is a force that gives us meaning". The "there are no innocence in war" is a textbook warcry right out of conflicts like Yugoslav one. Its the tactical dehumanization of the enemy. To have a one dimensional caricature to rally people…
Daniel Taylor 的《The Myth of Certainty》 Soren Kierkegaard 的《Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing》 Donald Norman 的《The Invisible Computer》 Edward Yourdon 的《Death March》 Chris Hedges 的《War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning》 Richard P. Feynman 的《What Do You Care What Other People Think?》

这让我想起克里斯·赫奇斯在《战争是赋予我们意义的力量》（War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning）这本书里，有一段精彩的论述，讲为什么大家总是讨厌基于现实思考的人。基本上，在战争罪行（或类似烂事）发生前和发生时，所有人都讨厌讲真话的人，因为……
This reminds me, in Chris Hedges' book War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning, there is a great section on why everyone always hates reality-based thinkers. Essentially before and during when the war crimes (or whatever) are being committed, everyone hates the truth-tellers because…
……一般来说是不会拿出来讨论的。想想前阵子媒体对小学宣读的《效忠宣誓》微调措辞所掀起的那阵狂热吧。刚读完克里斯·赫奇斯的《战争是赋予我们意义的力量》（War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning），我也敢说，美国主流媒体基本极度缺乏这种毫不避讳的批判性讨论。看到这篇文章登上 NYTimes.com，我多多少少感到一丝欣慰。其核心信息……
…things is not broached, generally. Consider the media frenzy a little while ago regarding the (minor) re-wording of the Pledge of Allegiance, as said in grade schools. Having just finished Chris Hedges' "War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning", I will also vouch that main-stream US media is largely bereft of this level of unflinching critical discourse. I'm somewhat heartened to see this article appearing on NYTimes.com. The core of the message,…
从近现代视角审视战争的一个有趣角度，是克里斯·赫奇斯写的《战争是赋予我们意义的力量》（War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning）。
