Book Reviews of On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace

Book Review: No Combat
Summary: 5 Stars

An amazing read on what happens to us in high stress situations. As a soldier in the US Army nothing better prepared me for the battle field than this. Highly recommended to everyone. Lt. Col. Grossman clearly paints the picture of what really happens during combat, why it happens, and what to do about it. On Combat does not delve quite as deep into what enables people to kill as a society, as he does in On Killing, but still gives a fascinating picture of what enables us to kill personally. On Combat also address what is happening to our society and how we can help the future and ourselves have a better world, even in the mist of so much violence. His advice on preparing for "combat" and how to handle it afterwards should be required teaching in all grade schools. Again I can't praise it high enough, nor recommend it to strongly, a must read for everyone still breathing.

Summary of On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace

"This new book is what our young warriors need. At one of David's last briefings a Senior NCO approached me and said, "Sir, the army spent 18 years and thousands of dollars teaching me to kill. This is the first time I have been taught how to deal with it." This book will allow those not fortunate enough to hear David do their own preparation for the ultimate test." Lt. Col. Hal McNair Professor at the Joint Spec Ops University
