Description: | A vital and timely expansion of Lt Col Dave Grossman's perennial bestseller On Killing. This new book reveals and explores the costs-to individual soldiers and to society-of the way we wage war today. Throughout history society has determined specific rules of engagement between adversaries in armed conflict. With advances in technology, from armor to in the Middle Ages to nerve gas in World War I to weapons of mass destruction in our own time, the rules have constantly evolved. Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions that could affect us all? |
