Steven A. LeBlanc, an archaeologist at Harvard, is the director of collections at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. He is the author of Prehistoric Warfare in the American Southwest. Katherine E. Register is a writer working in the Boston area.
"Timely reading... LeBlanc's short book makes accessible to general
readers controversial ideas well-known in (archaeology)... (and)
offers a serious critique of both 'rational choice' by our leaders
for short-term ends and of environmental neglect in a market
economy as leading to disaster."
-"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
"In a provocative and simulating book, Steven LeBlanc places
warfare at the center of human existence. He sees it as a constant
battle over scarce resources from the earliest days of our history.
In so doing, he gives us hope for the future, in a world where we
have the potential to feed everyone. He gives us an important
contribution to a growing debate over the causes and future of
war."
"-"Brian Fagan, professor of Anthropology, University of
California, Santa Barbara, and author of "The Little Ice Age"
