War through the eyes of one of America’s most principled voices.
The Jonathan Schell Reader: On the United States at War is a powerful collection of essays from one of the 20th century’s most respected journalists and moral commentators. Best known for his groundbreaking book The Fate of the Earth, Schell devoted his life to examining the moral, political, and existential consequences of war—particularly America’s use of military force.
 
This reader spans decades of Schell’s most important work, including reporting from the Vietnam War, reflections on nuclear disarmament, and urgent critiques of post-9/11 foreign policy. With eloquence, clarity, and courage, Schell challenges readers to rethink the role of violence in American identity and policy—and to envision a more peaceful future.
