Description
Acts of War: The Behaviour of Men in Battle
This comprehensive and thought-provoking study explores the human experience of war, delving into the psychological and emotional factors that drive soldiers in combat. From the camaraderie of army life to the terror of battle, Richard Holmes examines what motivates men to fight and how they cope with the extreme conditions of war.
Through a wide-ranging and meticulously researched exploration of warfare across several centuries, Holmes sheds light on the complex interplay between instinct, courage, fear, and self-preservation that defines the soldier's experience. Drawing on personal recollections from veterans of two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands, and other conflicts, this book offers a powerful insight into the human cost of war.
