'War is a topic perennial and urgently current. The insightful contributions to this discussion here published capture many of war's psychological complexities and will help the questioning reader to think more clearly about a topic both fascinating and horrifying.' Murray Stein , PhD., author of Jung's Map of the Soul 'The important thing about this book is how real it is. Sure, it is full of Jungian, post-Jungian and spiritual reflections on war. And these include challenges to a great deal of orthodox psychosocial and psychoanalytic thinking. But I truly felt the smells, sounds, wounds and sheer mortality of war thrusting themselves at the reader. It is the kind of book that should have a "trigger warning" on it, that it might upset some readers.
And a good thing too.' Professor Andrew Samuels , author of A New Therapy for Politics? 'War as Reset is a big slow cooked stew with many ingredients including reflection on wars in Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, Argentina, Italy (Sicily) Ireland, China and issues of gender, identity, trauma, displacement, terror, and the presence and/or absence of the gods in the world in general and in wars in particular. War as Reset is most ambitious in scope and depth. It has in mind a specific focus--the intriguing notion of reset--of war as an attempt to "restore a deteriorating order and set of values, striving to revive the world of yesterday. against the fear of the "world of tomorrow".'
