'The Spanish War', by Simone Weil: the ethical confusion of a radical pacifist. English philosopher's brief stay in Spain in 1936 gave rise to a good number of anecdotes and anti-war reflections that leave the reader breathless.

Weil is difficult to pigeonhole, he baffles everyone equally because he never stops challenging the commonplaces. She can be considered a radical thinker because her reflections were rooted in a deep life experience. She snuck into the folds of reality to discover that our fragile nature is a window of opportunity for humanity.
