Killing from the Inside Out

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Killing From the Inside Out examines suicide--the form (of) self-inflicted death resulting within as we acquiesce to war. Robert Emmet Meagher argues persuasively 'just war' is a modern myth, and to kill another is to kill a part of self. This is a thoughtful, timely, and needed book. We need to look war in the eye as our nation, Meagher points out, is on a perpetual warpath. We call it, 'the war against terrorism.' Meagher cites historical thinkers, modern sages, and veterans back from battle. He makes us think and think again as we consider war and its pernicious effect, not only 'out' there, but 'inside' here, inside our singular and collective souls. Read this book. Then ponder it. Then act on it. It just might save a soul--your soul.”
