On Killing
by Dave Grossman (Author) (Paperback - November 1996)
Avg. Customer Rating:
Book Description
What makes soldiers kill--or not--animates this intriguing survey by a psychologist and
former U.S. Army officer. Grossman reveals that only a fraction of soldiers
kill during warfare (and feel revulsion when they do); the rest (about 85
percent in World War II) resist by missing the target or refusing to fire. With
an eye to the military command's imperative of overcoming that innate resistance,
Grossman quotes numerous anecdotes that exemplify the phenomenon and studies
that examine it. With such knowledge, the military has implemented training
that gets firing rates up to 90 percent of soldiers, but the psychic cost of
blazing away for real is heavy. Individually, a killer goes through
thrill-remorse-rationalization stages; socially, the killer needs reassurance
and if it is not received, will suffer post-traumatic stress syndrome,
characteristic of Vietnam veterans. Grossman concludes his
findings of "enabling factors" in killing by identifying them at work
in the rampant violence afflicting American society. A book that requires some
steely fortitude to finish, but once done, On Killing delivers insights
on human nature that are both gratifying and repelling. Gilbert Taylor
