Description
A valuable work for anyone wishing to understand the psychological basis of war, or hoping to discover ways in which the unimaginable catastrophe of nuclear war could be avoided. Anthony Stevens provides insights into the nature and origins of armed conflict. He exposes war as an ancient propensity rooted in human psychology - particularly in the psychology and anatomy of the human male.;What attracts men to the profession of arms? What techniques are necessary to activate the warrior archetype in the masculine psyche? The author answers these questions and sheds light on how leaders persuade populations to go to war. He also discusses ways of inhibiting the need to wage war, through educational policy and admission of women into the citadels of masculine power.
