Chris Hedges is one of our greatest public intellectuals and a prodigious writer with 14 books, a Pulitzer Prize and other prestigious awards to his credit. All of these achievements have come over the course of a long and storied career as a war correspondent, NPR, Christian Science Monitor, and New York Times journalist, and the wisdom and perspective on the human experience that few have endured. At the height of his career he quit his job at the New York Times rather than to be muzzled by the paper on his opposition to the war in Iraq. He can claim as mentors the great Sheldon Wolen, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Berrigan, Václav Havel, and Cornell West, among others.Hedges often speaks of a quote - ostensibly from St Augustine of Hippo: “Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” In this interview Christopher Hedges speaks of both compellingly.
