Author: Richard Overy Narrator: Dennis Kleinman Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Release date: 06-04-24 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 7 ratings Genres: Social Sciences Publisher's Summary: Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible.
