Description

From the American Revolution to the end of World War II, the United

States spent nineteen years at war against other nations. But since1950,

the total is twenty-two years and counting. On four occasions, U.S.

presidents elected as "peace candidates" have gone on to lead the nation

into ferocious armed conflicts. Repeatedly, wars deemed necessary when

they began have been seen in retrospect as avoidable, ร„รฎandill-advised.

Americans

profess to be a peace-loving people and one wary of "foreign

entanglements." Yet we have been drawn into wars in distant lands from

Vietnam to Afghanistan. We cherish our middle-class comforts and our

children. Yet we send our troops to Fallujah and Mogadishu. How is it

that ordinary Americans with the most to lose are so easily convinced to

follow hawkish leaders-of both parties-into war? In Reasons to Kill

noted scholar Richard E. Rubenstein explores both the rhetoric that

sells war to the public and the underlying cultural and social factors

that make it so effective. With unmatched historical perspective and

insightful commentary, Rubenstein offers citizens new ways to think for

themselves about crucial issues of war and peace.
