Rising Up and Rising Down, Volume IV
Vollmann, William T.
An odyssey through the history of violence, Rising Up and Rising Down
combines William T. Vollmann's voracious appetite for the details of
history with a disregard for his own safety, examines the actions of
historical figures, scrutinizes the thinking of philosophers and finds
Vollmann posting personal dispatches from some of the most dangerous and
war-torn places on earth. The result is his Moral Calculus, a
structured decision-making system designed to help the reader decide
when violence is justifiable and when it is not.
