1. War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning
This book is a profound exploration of the allure and devastating effects of warfare, written by a war correspondent who has experienced conflicts firsthand. It delves into the intoxicating nature of war, the reasons why societies are drawn to it and how it can give a sense of purpose, albeit a destructive one. The author also discusses the psychological impacts of war on individuals and societies, and the ways in which war can distort our understanding of love, friendship, and compassion.

2. America, The Farewell Tour
The Farewell Tour
A searing diagnosis of national decline that argues corporate capitalism, militarism, and a corrupt political class have hollowed out democratic institutions and civic life; through reporting from deindustrialized towns, veterans, addicts, and displaced workers, it portrays social fragmentation, cultural decay, and the rise of authoritarian impulses, and calls for moral resistance, community rebuilding, and radical dissent to avert further collapse.
