The Evolution of War: A Study of Its Role in Early Societies
The Evolution of War: A Study of Its Role in Early Societies

Description
An extremely vivid though scholarly and carefully documented account of the general conditions of warfare among savages.' The New York Times 'Unmistakably [the author] has a flair for his subject, and succeeds in making interesting and vital a book that might easily have become a dry-as-dust treatise.' Christian Science Monitor Thorough, highly informative and exhaustive study presents an exceptional collection of cases examining such topics as warfare as the business of one sex, religion as a cause of war, and war for the sake of glory. Cannibalism, human sacrifice, blood-revenge, and other factors in warfare among primitive peoples are also expertly examined. A comprehensive work designed for the interested reader as well as for students of psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
