Why are we willing to die for our countries? Does religion precipitate violence? Do pride, anger and vengeance lead to war? Can ideology persuade someone to blow themselves up?

This ground-breaking book explores how tens of thousands of years of evolution have shaped our brains to fight, and not to fight. Drawing on insights gleaned as a soldier and a scholar, and a biologist, Mike Martin explains how the lives and deaths of our ancestors have shaped our behavior to propel
us towards conflict, even as that option makes less and less sense.

Why We Fight highlights the continuums between animal and human individual violence and explains how mankind has massively reduced the preponderance of warfare by creating larger and larger social groups. Together, these arguments form a compelling demonstration of humans' evolutionary
predisposition to warfare, rooted in a prehistoric past when going to war actually increased your chances of survival. Our contemporary world is marked by the disintegration of social groups, which inevitably increases the likelihood of conflict -- yet, Martin concludes, humans may still ultimately
outlive warfare altogether, consigning it to history.

Productbeschrijving

Revue de presse

Fascinating [and] accessible . . . Martin's enjoyable book makes a positive contribution to a major debate.--- Prospect

Why We Fight is a pivotal book in the study of conflict. It brilliantly deploys recent discoveries in psychology and neuroscience to devastating effect. It has radical implications for policies for conflict reduction: identity and status need to supplant interests and ideology as the focal points
for change. -- Sir Paul Collier, Professor of Economics and Public Policy, University of Oxford

Anyone interested in war and international relations will find much to challenge and intrigue them in Mike Martin's application of evolutionary theory to the question of what drives men to fight.-- Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, author of The Future of War: A History

An important and illuminating book that addresses very clearly the fundamental questions underlying the apparent paradoxes of violence and conflict.-- Patrick Hennessey, author of The Junior Officers' Reading Club: Killing Time and Fighting Wars

This wide-ranging book explores how the evolution of the brain has shaped human behaviour in violence and war. Fascinating and insightful.-- Stathis Kalyvas, Gladstone Professor of Government, University of Oxford.

A compelling and entertaining work of scholarship, Why We Fight is a biological exploration into the evolutionary crux of human conflict... essential reading for the scholar, the war buff, and the simply curious.--Foreword Reviews

[Why We Fight] should be required reading for not just biologists, psychologists and historians, but military leaders and recruiters as well. The British Army Review

A highly recommend read

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 19 september 2018

Geverifieerde aankoop

Whether you are an ex service person like me searching for answers to why he signed up for HM Armed Forces or a person trying to make sense of the conflicts and wars that are so prevalent in today's news media this book will stop and make you think. A thoroughly thought provocing read and actually, having read it I now see conflict in a totaly different persective.

A fascinating read cover to cover and, surprisingly a read that at first challenges and then changes my view of conflict.

But an excellent and revelatory read

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 13 juni 2018

Geverifieerde aankoop

Lucid and impeccably argued analysis of the scientific reasons why the human (male) animal fights other human (male) animals, whether in a bar over a spilled pint or in a war zone. The only reason I haven't given it five stars is that it's so rigorously and dispassionately scientific that I occasionally found myself longing for a bit more colour, a relaxing of the stringently academic tone. But an excellent and revelatory read, notwithstanding. There's an excellent short film of the author discussing the real reasons for the Afghan conflict (in which he soldiered for Britain) on Youtube, by the way.

The start of an essential conversation

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 8 augustus 2018

Geverifieerde aankoop

I've been waiting for someone to write a book like this. For years I've worked in conflict-affected countries, as a contractor, as a soldier and for government, and for years I've been frustrated by the disconnect between the academic theory and the reality on the ground; the stove piping of fields of study, a lack of willingness to critically examine our assumptions about why people participate in conflict and the lack of robustness of the theories on violent extremism. Mike Martin has brought together academic rigour and his own personal experience in a highly convincing and fascinating book.
There are real policy and operational implications from the findings and I hope that others pick up this thread and attempt to answer the pertinent questions they raise. This should be the start of an essential conversation.

Taking the understanding of conflict to first principles

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 23 oktober 2018

Geverifieerde aankoop

This was a fascinating examination of the biological drivers of conflict. The analysis of what drives people in war is so refreshing in that it is entirely lacking in the stale and intellectually lazy approaches found in books seeking to explain motivation in war.

A clear sighted explanation of how thousands of people continue to fight in futile conflict whilst each party justifies their actions via mutually exclusive narratives. Essential reading for professional military education and those interested in a more fundamental analysis.
