Description - The Anatomy Of Human Destructiveness by Erich Fromm

What makes men kill? How can we explain man's lust for cruelty and destruction? This pioneering work provides the answers.

In a world in which violence in every form seems to be increasing, Erich Fromm has treated this problem with deep perception in the most original and far-reaching work of his brilliant career. Fromm asks- what is there in the conditions of human existence to lead man to the orgies of destruction and violence in which he has indulged? By drawing on the findings of anthropology, palaeontogy, psychology and history; and including striking character analyses of Stalin, Hitler and Himmler, he shows how the failure to use our capacity for love and reason results in the development of the reverse- we wish to control life absolutely, or to destroy it.
