Hello gentle readers!
Just thought I'd share with you some info on a very interesting book I just read - It's called 'On Killing, The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society.' The guy who wrote it, Dave Grossman, is a former airborne ranger who's "one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime."
I figure this book is relevant to us Chud freaks because of its info on combat (which blows away many war movie conventions) and also because of its provocative argument against violent video games & films.
I may not agree with what the guy is writing, but he's definitely an expert in the field and has done his research. It's also an easy read, not one of those mind-bending psych 101 texts.
If you want to read more about the guy, you can check it out here:
