War Games
About This Book
War Games looks at combat through the lens of psychology. Its starting point is that the human brain has a deep, instinctive reluctance to kill, and that even highly trained soldiers can lose their training in the horror of battle. Militaries have spent enormous effort and money trying to keep their own troops fighting. Military psychologist Leo Murray argues that the more important question is a different one: how do you make the enemy stop fighting? Murray combines vivid firsthand accounts of combat with the science of tactical psychology to show how war affects the human mind. The book gives readers a view of war through the eyes of soldiers, and makes the case that the future of modern warfare depends on understanding how the enemy thinks. It is a fascinating and often chilling account of how psychology wins wars.
