Employing its second sight, they pigg y-back on its moral benefits. The nobility of poetry, says Wallace Stevens, is a violence from within that protects us from a violence without. This is a book about violence of both kinds. It traffics in war poetry, war photography, war films, war stories, war diaries and the like, but also in war itself: in blood – blood like a carwash, as Christopher Logue’s Homer has it – and therefore in political legitimacy, moral authority, civility, depravity, terror, torture, honour and conscience not to speak of strange things like active passivity and senseless kindness. We need all the protection we can get.Īlex Danchev is Professor of International Relations at the University of Nottingham.
