About this book

Mamdouh Hamadeh gathers observations from wars his generation witnessed, suffered and sometimes fought—from the June 1967 defeat, euphemistically called a ‘setback’, to Syria’s continuing catastrophe. The stories focus on the human conditions produced by war: the child uprooted from home, the civilian who adapts to violence, and the ways objects made for killing enter an ordinary economy. The War Notebook refuses grand strategy in favour of the intimate transformations through which conflict reproduces itself.
