Anthropology of War and Peace : Perspectives on the Nuclear Age

Drawing parallels between tribal behavior and international relations to demonstrate that societies are not inherently aggressive but are led into conflict when pride or in-group pressures push people to fight, this profound look at the chilling reality of cold war and its arsenal of nuclear destruction offers valuable new insights into how prejudices and sterotypes contribute to what may seel like an inexorable drift to war. Yet the authors conclude that war is not inevitable, as they offer suggestions for an end to the arms race in the nuclear age.Turner, Paul R. is the author of 'Anthropology of War and Peace : Perspectives on the Nuclear Age', published 1988 under ISBN 9780897891431 and ISBN 0897891430.
