Book Reviews of On Combat, The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
Book Review: A Book for Klingons
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a book for klingons mainly. Having read and enjoyed his previous work "On Killing" I couldn't help but be disappointed in this read. If you can tolerate the use of the word "WARRIOR" in almost every paragraph there are some redeeming sections in the book - especially about perceptual distortions under life threatening situations, how to best train for this, and more than enough 'war stories' to satisfy those so inclined.
Readability - 3/5 (some good charts - but the link to research a bit tenuous).
Content - 3/5 (too much filler material in my opinion).
Humour - not that I can recall - serious business this book.
Worth a look. But his previous book is even better.
