War

Brief Summary

Humans have been fighting wars for as long as we’ve had words to describe them. But why? Is war something we’re doomed to repeat, or is it a habit we can break? In "War: The Lethal Custom", Gwynne Dyer travels from ancient tribal battles to modern warfare, examining how war has evolved and why it might not be inevitable after all. He analyzes the psychological and political forces that drive nations to arms, debunking the myths that war is natural or necessary.
