Excellent Book All-Around!

This is probably the most useful single book a student in military history or psychology can have in his, er... arsenal. Dyer explores and analyzes the origins, social, political, and psychological impacts of war, as well as the political realities and shortcomings which fuel modern conflict. Of course, Dyer had neither the time or space to delve too deeply into the myriad variables that fuel human conflict- and the one shortcoming of the book is that it can occasionally be shallow or simplistic- but Dyer's refined critical eye more than makes up for his lack of data- he draws conclusions that are both logical and, to some degree, revolutionary. I would strongly recommend this book to a student of military history, social psychology, politics, or philosophy. In fact, I would recommend this book to anyone who would read it- it could change your outlook on life.
