Description
In this “gripping account of catastrophic defeat” (Barry Strauss), a New York Times–bestselling
historian charts how and why some societies chose to utterly destroy
their foes, and warns that similar wars of obliteration are possible in
our time
“In The End of Everything,
Hanson tells compelling and harrowing stories of how civilizations
perished. He helps us consider contemporary affairs in light of that
history, think about the unthinkable, and recognize the urgency of
trying to prevent our own demise.” — H. R. McMaster, author of Battlegrounds
War can settle disputes, topple tyrants, and bend the trajectory of
civilization—sometimes to the breaking point. From Troy to Hiroshima,
moments when war has ended in utter annihilation have reverberated
through the centuries, signaling the end of political systems, cultures,
and epochs. Though much has changed over the millennia, human nature
remains the same. Modern societies are not immune from the horror of a
war of extinction.
In The End of Everything,
military historian Victor Davis Hanson narrates a series of sieges and
sackings that span the age of antiquity to the conquest of the New World
to show how societies descend into barbarism and obliteration. In the
stories of Thebes, Carthage, Constantinople, and Tenochtitlan, he
depicts war’s drama, violence, and folly. Highlighting the naivete that
plagued the vanquished and the wrath that justified mass slaughter,
Hanson delivers a sobering call to contemporary readers to heed the
lessons of obliteration lest we blunder into catastrophe once again.
