Charles Douglas Lummis has written extensively on the topic of US foreign relations, and is a vocal critic of US foreign policy. His works include Radical Democracy, and A New Look at the Chrysanthemum and the Sword.
Susan Sontaghas called Lummis "one of the most thoughtful, honorable, and relevant intellectuals writing about democratic practice anywhere in the world,"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Lummis while Karel van Wolferenhas referred to him as an "eminent observer of the American-Japanese vassalage relationship.”
War Is Hell is scholarly, well founded and illuminating. Very original and stimulating, which is characteristic of Doug Lummis.
— Shin Chiba, International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan
Lummis' masterful combination of scholarship, grace, passion, and common sense gives us new ways of thinking about war and peace.
— Frank Bardacke
"I've followed Charles Douglas Lummis' peace activism and anti-war analyses for years. "War is Hell" in the culmination of his exceptional experience and knowledge. From Dante and Hobbes to Arendt and Walzer, from the scorched earth of Atlanta to the ashes of Tokyo, this book takes us on an intellectual and political journey that energizes us to think tougher thoughts about building peace."
— Cynthia Enloe, Author of The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging Persistent Patriarchy
