This audiobook explores the complex roots of war, emphasizing that it is driven not solely by human vices like hatred and greed, but by qualities such as loyalty, courage, and self-sacrifice that foster cooperation within societies. It examines how these virtues, shaped by our evolutionary history and social structures, can also become the very boundaries that restrict goodness and enable conflict. Through diverse historical and scientific insights, the author reveals how nations forge collective identities—sometimes fostering extraordinary unity, other times fueling division—highlighting the paradoxes inherent in human nature and cooperation.
