The stories in Better Than War encompass narratives from a diverse set of Iranian immigrants, many searching for a balance between memories of their homeland and their new American culture. The everyday life of each character subtly reflects viewpoints that are simultaneously Iranian and American, of all ages and circumstances. These stories deal with family, friends, relationships, urban life, prison, school, and adolescence. They also contain powerful messages about what people want, need, and deserve as citizens and human beings. For instance, in the story "Better Than War" a young Iranian boy must overcome the fear of asking an American girl on a date. His friend tells him there is no shame in pouring your heart out to someone you like. The boy must realize that expressing emotion and sorrow is worth the embarrassment because it shows loved ones that you are better than hatred--and especially better than war. All Iranian immigrants, young or old, carry with them a vivid past in their contemporary life. These histories help provide perspective, thankfulness, and virtue to their families and friends. Vossoughi's Better Than War is about growing up, coming of age, and raising children in America while still remembering the importance of retaining Iranian pride.

Excerpt from Peace Better Than War: Annual Address Delivered Before the American Peace Society, in Boston, May 24th, 1858 Another of' the delusions which favor war is, that nations are provoked to embark in it by deep and unendurable wrongs. Now, that a nation is very rarely impelled to war by a sense of great actual loss or injury, is a fact too obvious to be disputed. He1 pride aroused by an insult to her flag, or irritated at some far weaker point of honor, is a much more common cause of her going to war. Again, people kindle ln their hearts the love and admiration of War by reading what poets, historians and biographers say in favor of it. But here also they are deluded. It is not war, but the glory of war, that these writers celebrate; and this glory 18 in fact no part of war. It is only the glittering and false cover ing which 1s thrown over the horrid reality. War itself is to be seen in blasphemy, drunkenness and pollution in plunder and destruction; in ghastly wounds, and dying agonies, and broken hearts; in all those wide sweeps of death and vast desolations which war alone 18 capable of achieving.

Excerpt from The Only Alternative to War How can we do away with war, and yet retain the good effects of war upon the race That is the question which is suggesting itself to an increasing number of minds to-day. It might perhaps have been expected that, in full View of the horrors now being enacted in Flanders and Poland, men would have become willing to declare that any kind of life would be better than war. But nothing Of the sort is happening. The common judgement declares that many things might be worse than war. Not only might treachery and dishonour be worse than war, but mere peace might be worse. Probably states of peace have often been morally worse than the present state Of the world. A society engrossed in a sordid scramble for gold, and suffering the enervation that comes with luxury, is immeasurably lower than a society in arms and because a perception of this is becoming common the cause of peace does not greatly prosper. The ideals of the pacifist do not stir the heart, and even while English homes are one after another plunged in the sorrow Of bereavement the conviction that the soldier's calling is a high one grows among us. It would be hard indeed to prove that the people of Great Britain are less military in spirit than they were a year ago, in spite of all the horrors which war has wrought. The fact is that war beyond all question achieves two good results, one for the individual, and one for the nation, and it seems to many that these good things might be lost in peace. It is therefore an essential preliminary to any hopeful work for peace to recognize honestly the moral value that there is in war.

“A comprehensive and long-overdue examination of the immediate post–Tet offensive years [from a] first-rate historian.” —The New York Times Book Review Neglected by scholars and journalists alike, the years of conflict in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 offer surprises not only about how the war was fought, but about what was achieved. Drawing from thousands of hours of previously unavailable (and still classified) tape-recorded meetings between the highest levels of the American military command in Vietnam, A Better War is an insightful, factual, and superbly documented history of these final years. Through his exclusive access to authoritative materials, award-winning historian Lewis Sorley highlights the dramatic differences in conception, conduct, and—at least for a time—results between the early and later years of the war. Among his most important findings is that while the war was being lost at the peace table and in the U.S. Congress, the soldiers were winning on the ground. Meticulously researched and movingly told, A Better War sheds new light on the Vietnam War.

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen has written an original and important study of genocide that reconceives its very nature. He does so not by examining a series of genocides but by exploring the nature of mass killing itself. Our failure to clearly describe, explain, and understand the mechanisms of genocide has made it difficult to prevent, and this book will change that. Through exhaustive research, he brilliantly lays out the roots and motivations of mass slaughter, exploring such questions as: Why do genocides occur? What makes people willing to slaughter others? How do cultural beliefs justify genocide among groups of people? Why has the world been so ineffective in reducing the incidence of genocide? Based on his thoroughgoing reconceptualization of genocide, Goldhagen proposes novel, sensible, and effective measures to put an end to this scourge of humanity, which is worse, even, than war. With the unflinching moral and analytical clarity that he is internationally known for, Goldhagen leaves no stone unturned in this groundbreaking book that will not only transform our understanding of genocide, but every person and political leader who reads it.
