This week we’re publishing some thoughts on David Griffith’s book A Good War Is Hard to Find: The Art of Violence in America. We’ll be featuring Dave’s response, too.
The first reviews are from Mike Benedetti and Christine Lavallee.
Several of the essays in the book are available on-line, in excerpted or adapted form:
- Chapters One and Two (“Symphony No. 1 (In Memorium, Dresden, 1945)” and “Flannery O’Connor, Abu Ghraib and the Problem of American Innocence”)
- Prime Directive
