 | | Nur Für Häftlinge: Primo Levi’s Survival in Auschwitz | | by Nearly Anonymous, Jan 31, 2008 | | Instead of a furious diatribe against Hitler, Levi undertakes an unflinching analysis of the seemingly unfathomable. His account of the day-to-day absurdity and horror of concentration camp existence sheds light on what it means to remain not only a human being, but also an individual, in one of the darkest chapters of history. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | Every Man, Every Woman, Every Child: A Review of Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis | | by Nearly Anonymous, Jan 31, 2008 | | Due to its distinctive nature and unconventional format, Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is inherently problematic as a factual account of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. It is, however, invaluable as an account illuminating the prevailing attitudes and emotions of the period. It is, in fact, itself the raw material of which history is made. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Just War Theory: 9/11 and Afghanistan | | by Nearly Anonymous, Jan 31, 2008 | | In the third chapter of The Morality of War, Brian Orend argues that the 9/11 attacks against the United States are intolerable by Just War theory. He also makes the case that the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan is justifiable as war of self-defence. These two conclusions are mutually inconsistent. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |
