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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHRIS HEDGES\u003c\/b\u003e was a war correspondent for two decades in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans, fifteen of them with \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, where he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
