Sinossi

"War's Lingering Scars" offers a groundbreaking examination of how armed conflicts continue to shape societies long after the fighting ends. Through a masterful blend of historical data, personal narratives, and sociological research, the book reveals the complex ways warfare impacts multiple generations, from the psychological trauma inherited by veterans' families to the fundamental restructuring of social and economic systems.The book's unique strength lies in its comprehensive three-part analysis. Beginning with an exploration of intergenerational trauma transmission, supported by compelling case studies from Vietnam War veterans' families and Holocaust survivors, it demonstrates how combat-related stress echoes through time. The research then expands to examine warfare's transformation of social structures, using powerful examples from post-war Japan, Germany, and Bosnia to illustrate shifts in everything from family dynamics to educational systems.In its final section, the book delves into the persistent economic aftershocks of conflict, tracking how wartime disruptions create lasting disparities in wealth distribution and development opportunities. By combining quantitative analysis with personal histories and recently declassified documents, the work provides an accessible yet scholarly understanding of war's enduring legacy. This multidisciplinary approach makes it an invaluable resource for both academics and practitioners working in post-conflict recovery, while offering practical insights for addressing the complex challenges of war's aftermath.

    For many fans and casual observers, professional sports and violence are deeply connected. Violence on the field has real consequences for players, notably in the form of life-altering injuries from concussions. Off the field, in the last several decades, scores of athletes have committed violent acts, from domestic abuse and sexual assault to animal abuse and murder. Beyond athletes, sport also serves as a site of political and structural violence, from the displacement and hyperpolicing of everyday people for mega-events to the "sportswashing" of environmentally harmful industries. 
     
     
     
    Daniel Sailofsky examines the endemic violence in professional sports and argues that—while related to masculinity, misogyny, and individual factors like alcohol consumption and gambling—it is most intimately tied to capitalism and to capitalist modes of consumption and profit. Sailofsky explains how capitalism creates the conditions for violence to thrive and uncovers how sports leaders—coaches, league officials, and team owners—obfuscate these relationships to avoid accountability. 
     
     
     
    From minor league baseball exploitation to spectator hooliganism, Sailofsky shows the connections between the business of sports and violence, but also, more importantly, he imagines new forms of sport that are not places of harm.

    From the moment we are born to the day we die, we are under a spell. We are controlled by the magicians who use marketing and propaganda to manipulate our every thought. 
     
    From religious leaders to company executives, from politicians to secret military elites, everything we do, say and even think is scrutinized. 
     
    There have been many books and films that have attempted to reveal the stupidity of the so-called reality we have created. Often the metaphors are ignored or misunderstood. The truth is simple. Mankind has stepped out of a natural state of existence and walked blindfolded into a world of insanity. 
     
    We are force fed information, drugs, poisoned food and told we should feel lucky. We are told that we live in a free world, while everything we do is controlled. 
     
    For thousands of years the system has been built, slowly consuming our true nature. 
     
    Many are happy in their state of delusion. But every now and then a rogue appears who recognizes the truth for what it really is. Do you wish to stay plugged in to the system or are you ready to set yourself free?
