Faith, Family and Fighter Jets

<div><B>A controversial psychological examination of how soldiers&rsquo; willingness to kill has been encouraged and exploited to the detriment of contemporary civilian society.</B><BR />  <BR /> Psychologist and US Army Ranger Dave Grossman writes that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to pull the trigger in battle. Unfortunately, modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning, have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion.<BR />  <BR /> The mental cost for members of the military, as witnessed by the increase in post-traumatic stress, is devastating. The sociological cost for the rest of us is even worse: Contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army&rsquo;s conditioning techniques and, Grossman argues, is responsible for the rising rate of murder and violence, especially among the young.<BR />  <BR /> Drawing from interviews, personal accounts, and academic studies, <I>On Killing</I> is an important look at the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects the soldier, and of the societal implications of escalating violence.<BR />  </div>

Warrior Mindset

<div><B>The director of the Killology Research Group shares &ldquo;a thorough examination of the emotional and physical effects of deadly conflict&rdquo; (<I>Kirkus Reviews</I>).</B><BR /><BR /><I>On Combat</I> examines the stress resulting from engaging in deadly battle and its effects on the human body, from the heart and the nervous system to visual and auditory perception to memory. The historical perspective on the evolution of combat provided in this text further deepens our understanding of the brave men and women who train their minds and bodies to go to that place from which others flee.<BR /><BR /> Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a war veteran and former West Point psychology professor, presents combat coping strategies, demonstrating how one can train the mind to be inoculated against stress, fear, and even pain. This fresh and informative look at post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) details how to prevent it, how to survive it, how to come out of it stronger, and how to help others who are experiencing it.<BR /><BR /> Grossman underscores the importance of post-combat debriefing, when warriors gather to share, learn from each other, and begin to heal from the horror. Based on extensive new research, Grossman&rsquo;s findings are supported by revealing quotes and anecdotes from combat veterans and other leaders in the warrior community.</div>
