Vital insights and wisdom on the perennial question of why we
fight
This book explores how some of the greatest minds of
civilization have tackled a question that continues to play a vital
part in our lives today. In "Why We Fight," Simon Van Booy curates
an enlightening collection of excerpts, passages, and paintings,
presenting works by Sophocles, Tacitus, Pieter Bruegel the Elder,
William Shakespeare, Emily BrontE, Abraham Lincoln, Charles
Dickens, Victor Hugo, Walt Whitman, Friedrich Nietzsche, Oscar
Wilde, James Tissot, James Joyce, General George Patton, and
others.

eternally curious.
