Book excerpt: THIS most interesting suggestion for a substitute of war first appeared in the "North American Review," May 15th. Irving Fisher says in his introduction that "the armies of peace have a nobler kind of work to do than the armies of war and their work often requires as much courage and self sacrifice, yet they do not fascinate as war fascinates for the reason that they are, as Mr. MacKaye says, drab." As he points out they have no bright uniforms, flags, ballads, brass bands or other forms of dramatic interpretation. Mr. MacKaye explains that his object in this essay "is to suggest that the 'moral equivalent of war' can be made fascinating and effectual by utilizing (and perhaps only by utilizing) the dynamic arts of the theatre to give it symbolical expression." --"The Craftsman," Vol. 29

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Substitute for War When Colonel Waring adopted a white uniform for the street cleaners of New York City, some people were inclined to smile, and some were puzzled to understand the purpose in view; but, after the first street-cleaners' parade, there was a chorus of approval. Street cleaning suddenly seemed to assume a certain dignity, when our attention was turned from dirt to cleanliness and from the forlorn individual sweeper at the crossing to the mighty host of the Defenders of a City.

Book Synopsis What It Is Like to Go to War by : Karl Marlantes
Download or read book What It Is Like to Go to War written by Karl Marlantes and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A precisely crafted and bracingly honest” memoir of war and its aftershocks from the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn (The Atlantic). In 1968, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in command of forty Marines who would live or die by his decisions. In his thirteen-month tour he saw intense combat, killing the enemy and watching friends die. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his experiences. In What It Is Like to Go to War, Marlantes takes a candid look at these experiences and critically examines how we might better prepare young soldiers for war. In the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion, and literature—which also helped bring them home. While contemplating ancient works from Homer to the Mahabharata, Marlantes writes of the daily contradictions modern warriors are subject to, of being haunted by the face of a young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters, and of how he finally found a way to make peace with his past. Through it all, he demonstrates just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of the journey. In this memoir, the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn offers “a well-crafted and forcefully argued work that contains fresh and important insights into what it’s like to be in a war and what it does to the human psyche” (The Washington Post).
