DOWNLOAD EBOOKWar is Kind" is a collection of poems written by Stephen Crane, an American poet and novelist. The collection was first published in 1899. Stephen Crane (1871–1900) is best known for his novel "The Red Badge of Courage," which is considered a classic work on the American Civil War. The title poem of the collection, "War is Kind," is one of Crane's most famous works. It is characterized by its ironic and cynical tone, challenging traditional notions of heroism and glorification of war. The poem suggests that, despite the tragic and brutal nature of war, people often find ways to romanticize and idealize it. "War is Kind" reflects Crane's anti-romantic and anti-heroic stance on war, challenging prevailing sentiments about the glory of conflict and offering a more somber and critical perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: “It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living.” Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies—corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBANCROFF PRIZE WINNER • King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war—colonists against Indigenous peoples—that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history. Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war." The war's brutality compelled the colonists to defend themselves against accusations that they had become savages. But Jill Lepore makes clear that it was after the war—and because of it—that the boundaries between cultures, hitherto blurred, turned into rigid ones. King Philip's War became one of the most written-about wars in our history, and Lepore argues that the words strengthened and hardened feelings that, in turn, strengthened and hardened the enmity between Indigenous peoples and Anglos. Telling the story of what may have been the bitterest of American conflicts, and its reverberations over the centuries, Lepore has enabled us to see how the ways in which we remember past events are as important in their effect on our history as were the events themselves.
