Which war was being fought when C.S. Lewis wrote the book whose chapter shares a title with the band Wild Sweet Orange's 2008 album?
Mere Christianity Mere Christianity is a theological book by C. S. Lewis, adapted from a series of BBC radio talks made between 1941 and 1944, while Lewis was at Oxford during the Second World War. Considered a classic of Christian apologetics, the transcripts of the broadcasts originally appeared in print as three separate pamphlets: "The Case for Christianity" ("Broadcast Talks" in the UK) (1942), "Christian Behaviour" (1943), and "Beyond Personality" (1944). Lewis was invited to give the talks by the Rev. James Welch, the BBC Director of Religious Broadcasting, who had read his 1940 book, "The Problem of Pain".
War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (ISBN  ) is a 2002 non-fiction book by journalist Chris Hedges. In the book, Hedges draws on classical literature and his experiences as a war correspondent to argue that war seduces entire societies, creating fictions that the public believes and relies on to continue to support conflicts. He also describes how those who experience war may find it exhilarating and addictive. The book was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction and a "Los Angeles Times" Best Book of the Year, as well as a national bestseller.
