In A Terrible Love of War , James Hillman, one of today\u2019s 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\u2019s broad sweep and detailed research bring a fundamentally new understanding to humanity\u2019s simultaneous attraction and aversion to war.
