<strong>The</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>War</strong><br />

Dear Reader,<br />

T<br />

he world is at war. From Syria to Iraq, India to Pakistan, the<br />

world is now at a stage where conflict has become the new<br />

normal. From the beginning <strong>of</strong> time, conflict has given<br />

society the most pr<strong>of</strong>ound and celebrated art. Thus, it is only apt<br />

that this issue be dedicated to the arts <strong>of</strong> war.<br />

Art is as responsible for starting war as it is for sustaining it and<br />

ending it. It has the ability to significantly alter public perceptions<br />

<strong>of</strong> war, and to sustain mass movements for and against aggression<br />

and violence.<br />
