Surviving to 3000: An Introduction to the Study of Lethal Conflict

Roy L. Prosterman

Duxbury Press, CA. 1972. First paperback edition. Some sun toning and bumps to edges of boards.yellowing to edges of text block, interior pristine. An excellent copy.

An obscure study of "lethal conflict" with the goal of helping humanity understand that lethal conflict is not inherent to our species, that we could forge a world where murder isn't the rule of the day. But why hasn't it happened? This book dives into the psychology and sociology of war as man against man. Fascinating stuff that shares quite a bit of DNA, if not directly influential, on William T. Vollmann's "Rising Up and Rising Down". If this sounds interesting to you, don't hesitate.
