Saved as a podcast, this is a recording of an event when renowned psychologist James Hillman spoke about his book, 'A Terrible Love of War'.
I finished the book last night, and I have to say it is one of the best analyses of war I have ever read. Hillman goes deeper into the psychology of why we war than any other analyst I've encountered, and he uses sociocultural anthropology, ethnographic, historical, and sociological methods to break through the skin and stare at the guts. For anyone who is interested in the study of war, conflict, and violence, this book is at the top of my list, and for anti-war activists it is at the top of the top.
217 pages.
