2 ANTI-WAR BOOKS by KATHY BECKWITH Playing War by Kathy Beckwith. One summer day Luke and his friends
decide to play their favorite game of war, but Sameer, who is new to the

A Mighty Case Against War by Kathy Beckwith. Beckwith relates a history of America's
wars that includes "What America Missed in U.S. History Class." She
details why war sells, the fallacies of common justifications for war, true
costs of war, and sensible alternatives. A Mighty Case Against War proposes
that this culturally supported, deeply entrenched system of governmental
violence is simply too costly, destructive, counterproductive, and inhumane
to leave unchallenged. |

As an Iraqi, I’d sooner
mourn my country than treat Colin Powell as a hero

tragedy – that is, tragedy
imposed on others by American policy he oversaw.
