War is Boring: Bored Stiff, Scared to Death in the World's Worst War Zones by David AxeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
A quick overview of recent war zones. The narrator is suffering from PTSD and keeps returning to areas of conflict, but only superficially examines his reasons for going back: "As boring as war can be...peace is much worse."
His attitude is displayed in the afterward:
"Everything falls apart. Everyone dies in time. In the great, slow reduction of our lives and history, the things we can believe in shrink into a space smaller than our own bodies. To preserve them, for as long as you might, arm yourself, and be afraid."
