Krátky popis
A richly absorbing book... Overy is unquestionably one of our
finest living historians - The Daily TelegraphWhy has warfare
always been part of the human story?From biology to belief, what
explains the persistence of violent conflict?What light can this
shed on humanity’s past – and its future?There can be few more
important but also more contentious issues than attempting to
understand the human propensity for conflict. Our history is
inextricably tangled in wave after wave of inter-human fighting
from as far back as we have records.Repeatedly humans have
foresworn war, have understood its appalling risks and have wished
to create more pacific, productive societies. And yet almost
inevitably circumstances emerge under which war once more seems
inevitable or even desirableHow can we make sense of what Einstein
called 'the dark places of human will and feeling'? Richard Overy
draws on a lifetime's study of conflict to write this challenging
account of how we can understand the causes of war. Looking at
every facet of war from biology to belief, psychology to security,
Overy allows readers to understand the many contradictory or
self-reinforcing ways in which warfare can suddenly appear a
legitimate option, and why it is likely to be part of our future as
well as our past.
