Book Description
Excerpt from The War: Impressions and Reflections, Being Thoughts on Its Religious Aspects What the circumstances were that occasioned the despondent enquiry of the writer of the Psalm we do not know. But that circumstances might easily arise that would have abundantly justified this unknown Israelite's enquiry, and justify also a similar question for ourselves at this time, the alarming conditions of European affairs at the present moment only too clearly Show.

Using a combination of vivid descriptions and introspective reflections, Laffargue provides a harrowing portrayal of the horrors faced by soldiers on the front lines. The book's straightforward yet poignant narrative style captures the brutality and futility of war, making it a poignant piece of war literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Laffargue's insights into the psychological impact of combat and the day-to-day struggles of soldiers in the trenches set this book apart as a valuable historical document and a thought-provoking literary work.

Book Description
Reflections on War and Death by Sigmund Freud CAUGHT in the whirlwind of these war times, without any real information or any perspective upon the great changes that have already occurred or are about to be enacted, lacking all premonition of the future, it is small wonder that we ourselves become confused as to the meaning of impressions which crowd in upon us or of the value of the judgments we are forming. It would seem as though no event had ever destroyed so much of the precious heritage of mankind, confused so many of the clearest intellects or so thoroughly debased what is highest. Even science has lost her dispassionate impartiality. Her deeply embittered votaries are intent upon seizing her weapons to do their share in the battle against the enemy. The anthropologist has to declare his opponent inferior and degenerate, the psychiatrist must diagnose him as mentally deranged. Yet it is probable that we are affected out of all proportion by the evils of these times and have no right to compare them with the evils of other times through which we have not lived. The individual who is not himself a combatant and therefore has not become a cog in the gigantic war machinery, feels confused in his bearings and hampered in his activities. I think any little suggestion that will make it easier for him to see his way more clearly will be welcome. Among the factors which cause the stay-at-home so much spiritual misery and are so hard to endure there are two in particular which I should like to emphasize and discuss. I mean the disappointment that this war has called forth and the altered attitude towards death to which it, in common with other wars, forces us. When I speak of disappointment everybody knows at once what I mean. One need not be a sentimentalist, one may realize the biological and physiological necessity of suffering in the economy of human life, and yet one may condemn the methods and the aims of war and long for its termination. To be sure, we used to say that wars cannot cease as long as nations live under such varied conditions, as long as they place such different values upon the individual life, and as long as the animosities which divide them represent such powerful psychic forces. We were therefore quite ready to believe that for some time to come there would be wars between primitive and civilized nations and between those divided by color, as well as with and among the partly enlightened and more or less civilized peoples of Europe.
