Annihilating Difference
This short, 74 page volume, was originally presented as a series of lectures on the BBC. Ultimately disappointing: perhaps because the transcript of a series of lectures written to be heard cannot serve as well as a series of essays written to be read.
Keegan is an esteemed writer of military history. I was awed by his history of World War One. Here he tries, with some success, to discuss why war happens. He expounds on the most prevalent theories and comes to the conclusion that nobody really knows.
The last Chapter, "War and the Individual", is the most compelling and left me both frightened and hopeful.
I was left pondering, not only the nature of war but also the nature of humankind. A worthwhile exercise, I believe.
