War and Ideology

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1990, the author looking across various societies investigates why men and women go to war, and why they commit atrocities against their enemy. He argues that military training and ideology are based on a particular perception of the enemy, and that this determines the nature of war as much as any other single factor.
