On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
Edition: Paperback Other editions available: Audio CD, Paperback, Hardcover, CD-ROM, Paperback, Preloaded Digital Audio Player, Hardcover, Paperback, Unknown Binding 28 third-party copies available from: $2.47 Other items of interest: • On Combat, The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace • Warrior Mindset • Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill : A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence • Leadership and Training for the Fight: Using Special Operations Principles to Succeed in Law Enforcement, Business, and War • Sharpening the Warriors Edge: The Psychology & Science of Training Product Description: ON KILLING is the study of what author Lt. Col. Dave Grossman has termed "killology". This odd term describes, not killing between nations, but the exact circumstances involved when one individual ends the life of another individual, with the primary focus being on combat situations. I've sometimes wondered how I (someone who has never been anywhere near armed conflict) would fare on the frontlines, as killing another human being seems like an almost impossible psychological task.
