Engaged in the activity of destruction, its soldiers and its victims discover a paradoxical yet profound sense of existing, of being human. In <I>A Terrible Love of War</I>, James Hillman, one of today's most respected psychologists, undertakes a groundbreaking examination of the essence of war, its psychological origins and inhuman behaviors. Utilizing reports from many fronts and times, letters from combatants, analyses by military authorities, classic myths, and writings from great thinkers, including Twain, Tolstoy, Kant, Arendt, Foucault, and Levinas, Hillman's broad sweep and detailed research bring a fundamentally new understanding to humanity's simultaneous attraction and aversion to war. This is a compelling, necessary book in a violent world. 1679710 2004 A Terrible Love of War total:45|5:19|4:12|3:9|2:1|1:4| 45 176 80 11 2 0 false false Sun Apr 19 17:03:09 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 17:11:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 16 14:59:27 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 15:00:17 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 13:57:13 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 13:58:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Dec 28 21:48:16 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 12:14:25 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 21:48:16 -0800 2008 slightly macabre title.
