In this powerful and wide-ranging collection of essays, Rebecca Solnit turns her attention to the war at home. This is a war, she says, “[W]ith so many casualties that we should call it by its true name, this war with so many dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lovers, by people pursuing power and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting first and figuring out who they hit later.”

To get to the root of these American crises, she contends that “[T]o acknowledge this state of war is to admit the need for peace”, countering the despair of our age with a dose of solidarity, creativity, and hope.
