The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill. But armies have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. And contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques, and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young.
Upon its initial publication, ON KILLING was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects soldiers, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent trends in crime, suicide bombings, school shootings, and more. The result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come.
- .m4b is a great format for audiobooks, because fewer files (usually only 1-2) are needed. They remember where you last listened, just like if you put a bookmark in a book, or paused a CD player.
- If you want to keep the book in an itunes playlist, then set the property "Media kind" to "Music".
- If you would like the book to appear in the Audiobook section of iTunes / iPod, then change the itunes file property "Media kind" to "Audiobook".
- .m4b files can be played with any software that plays .mp4. You simply have to right click and select "Open with". Otherwise .m4b files default to open in iTunes, or may register as unrecognised. But VLC or any other player that handles mp4 can also play m4b.
- The .m4b extension can be changed to .mp4 or .m4a if you do not use iTunes/iPod. No conversion needed, just change the file extension.
