How do people maintain their humanity during wars? Despite its
importance, this question receives scant scholarly attention,
perhaps because war is overwhelming. The generally accepted belief
is that wars bring out the worst in us, pitting one against
another. 'War is hell', William Tecumseh Sherman famously noted,
and even 'just' wars are massively destructive and inhumane. Since
ethics is concerned with discovering what takes us to a morally
superior place, one conducive to betterment and happiness -
studying what helps people survive wartime trauma thus becomes an
extremely valuable enterprise. A Darkling Plain fills an important
scholarly void, analyzing wartime stories that reveal much about
our capacity to process trauma, heal wounds, reclaim lost spirits,
and derive meaning and purpose from the most horrific of personal
events.
