to write my paper on the interview “The Origins of War” with Donald Kagan. Having read the novel (of the same name) in which this interview was based on, I am long time Kagan devotee. Many call his ideologies “too conservative” or pro preemptive strike aggression, but I concur with a vast majority of his opinions. In this video, Kagan states three of his main points on the origins of war: in order to avoid war, be prepared for war, generally war is born out of the same 3 things - honor, fear,…

is the futility and hypocrisy of war and bureaucracy explored by Joseph Heller and Francis Ford Coppola in Catch-22 and Apocalypse Now respectively? Catch-22 authored by Joseph Heller and Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola are critically considered two of the finest examples of contemporary anti-war literature and cinema, despite neither being explicitly against the concept of combat as such, but rather, both opposing the bureaucratic absurdity that war inevitably entails.

composed of both short stories and essays about war. Vonnegut was a private in the U.S. Army’s 106th Infantry Division during World War II and was captured by the Germans in mid-December of 1944.
