Big Thinking at Congress 2018
Thinking about war
War — its imprint in our lives and our memories — is all around us, from the metaphors we use to the names on our maps. As books, movies or television series show, we are drawn to the history and depiction of war. Nevertheless, we like to think of war as an aberration, as the breakdown of the normal state of peace. This is comforting, but wrong. War is deeply woven into the history of human society societies. Join Margaret MacMillan as she analyzes the tangled history of war and society and our complicated feelings towards it and towards those who fight. This lecture will explore the ways in which changes in society have affected the nature of war and how in turn wars have changed the societies that fight them, including the ways in which women have been both participants in and objects of war.
