War is Boring: Bored Stiff, Scared to Death in the World's Worst War Zones
by David Axe
read in January, 2012

My rating:

| Hard to empathise with Axe when he is apparently so fatalistic about war and peace. He himself ironically gets rather boring. He does highlight the sad truth how war is a necessity in the world, not just as an economic stimulant but as a means to sel...more | |

Not good enough! Don't mock my own deep feeling of unworthiness.”

“One word more. You look as if you thought it tainted you to be
loved by me. You cannot avoid it. Nay, I, if I would, cannot
cleanse you from it. But I would not, if I could. I have never
loved any woman before: my life has been too busy, my thoughts
too much absorbed with other things. Now I love, and will love.
But do not be afraid of too much expression on my part.”
