Strategies & Consequences

<p>In honor of Memorial Day and the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the armed forces, this special episode of Strategies &amp; Consequences War is an anthology of excerpts from poems and prose about war. In On War, Clausewitz writes about war as a science that can be analyzed impersonally. This perspective is contrasted with Mccrae’s In Flanders Fields and Komunyakaa’s Tu Do Street. These poems reflect lived experience in brutal conflicts and the effects on combatants and civilians alike.

<p>The Battle of Kadesh was fought between Pharaoh of Egypt Ramses II and King Muwatallis of the Hittite Empire in 1285 BCE. A clash between a rising Hittite empire and an Egyptian Pharaoh yearning for a pivotal victory, this battle was a devastating reminder of the brutality of warfare.

The Battle of Megiddo was fought in the Valley of Megiddo in 1456 BC between the famed warrior Pharaoh Thutmose III and Durusha, the King of Kadesh. This battle is the first battle recorded and recounted by many ancient sources, so Strategies & Consequences: War will begin here.
