Book Reviews of On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
Book Review: "OUTSTANDING"
Summary: 5 Stars
As a veteran Law Enforcement/Military Firearms Instructor, I utilize philosophies presented in On Killing to hopefully give neophyte police officers and soldiers a better insight to the lethality of life related to violence. Combat is combat, jungle or city street. Literary works such as this will do no harm other than stirring up the liberal camps. It will, however, be a personal prescription to fight a never-ending disease-apathy toward justice and democracy. One shot-One Kill, not just for snipers. This work hits the target. Vol 2 anytime soon?
