"Excellent book detailing the cultural heritage which props up western militaries so effectively. Hanson thinks he's refuted Jared Diamond, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Both visions are actually complimentary in large part. I'm interested in hearing their "debate" over NPR from a few years ago."
