About this book
"Part war commentator, part angry humorist, War Nerd Gary Brecher inveighs against pieties of all stripes - Liberian generals, Dick Cheney, U. N. peacekeepers, the neo-cons. and the massive incompetence of military powers.
A provocative free thinker, he finds much to admire in the most unlikely places, and not always for the most pacifistic reasons: the Tamil Tigers, the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Danes of 1,000 years ago, and so on, across the globe and through the centuries.
