MARTIN Mike

Why we fight / Mike Martin - London: Hurst & Co. (Publishers) Ltd., 2018. - xii, 311 pages ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-303) and index.

When we go to war, morality, religion and ideology often take the blame. But Mike Martin boldly argues that the opposite is true: rather than driving violence, these things help to reduce it. While we resort to ideas and values to justify or interpret warfare, something else is really propelling us towards conflict: our subconscious desires, shaped by millions of years of evolution.
