Why Are We at War? Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked as well as the Dead, Norman Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war. Why Are We at Battle? returns Mailer to the gravity from the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send out military there to pass away. First released in the first days of the Iraq War, WHAT MAKES We at Battle? can be an explosive debate approximately the American search for empire that still carries pounds today. Scrutinizing the Bush administration’s phrases and actions, Mailer unleashes his brand moral rigor: “Because democracy is certainly noble, it is always endangered…. To believe blithely that people can export democracy into any nation we choose can serve paradoxically to motivate more fascism at home and abroad.”
