Book Talk: Faith and Fear

QI board member and former chair of American History at West Point Greg Daddis discusses his new book on America's relationship with warfare since WWII.

Quincy Institute board member Greg Daddis’s new book “Faith and Fear” offers a sweeping and ambitious reflection on America’s relationship with warfare since WW2. As a 26 year veteran of the U.S. military, the former chair of American History at West Point, and a current Professor of History at Texas A&M Col. Daddis has a unique perspective on this history. The book examines not just the factual story of America’s wars, but at a deeper level the nation’s emotional connection to war, both the hope that war could be a transformative and potentially positive force, and the fear of the potential and actual devastation that war can bring.  From the beginning of the Cold War with the Soviet Union to current and potential conflicts in the Middle East and with China, the book offers a perspective informed by both personal experience and deep study.
