This book is ok and the author makes a few interesting points about the addiction of war by individuals and society, but I felt that his stories and ideas could have been better organized. Also, he relies heavily on recollections from his time in Bosnia and Kosovo and as a result I felt like there was a lot of repetition of points and example stories between the chapters. I was expecting a more comprehensive look at war, but I was disappointed and was left feeling like there is no hope for humanity to ever break the cycle of constant war - in which case, why even bother reading this book?
