Description:
The brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine renews questions we explored in this earlier series.

Whether it is a World Trade Center worker consumed in a fireball, a Balkan family shot point-blank in a spree of “ethnic cleansing,” or the civilians being savagely assaulted in Ukraine, war today is largely the slaughter of innocents. And, of course, for soldiers themselves — and for the loved ones they leave behind — the lasting effects can be devastating.

With this warscape as backdrop, Beyond War asks: What are the true costs of war? Is military action effective in enhancing national security? What happens to human beings amid the carnage of violence? Is war a necessary evil or is it sheer madness?

These sound-rich stories have aired worldwide. They offer many important questions worth pondering at this difficult moment.
