War! What Is It Good For?: Conflict and the Progress of Civilization from Primates to Robots by Ian Morris
4.0
"Si vis pacem, para bellum"
Or in English, if you want peace, prepare for war.
In around 500 pages, the author give us a tour around human history.
Showing how in every step of the way, war has been, and continues to be, very important. Not only for the creation of wealth or technological advances, but for the safety of the individual in each of these civilizations.
I have to admit he has a point, and the Leviathan seems like a necessary evil most of the time.
The question remains, how do we go from here?.
