Story
The revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic about the psychology of combat, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed". In World War II, only 15 to 20 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. In Korea, about 50 percent. In Vietnam, the figure rose to more than 90 percent. The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill.

Publisher's Summary
Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.
Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting.
Listeners will:
- Discover how hunting formed us.
- Examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity.
- Understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today’s hunter.
- Identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field.
- Learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation.
- Gain inspiration to share hunting with others.
Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.

Answers the most important questions.
This is an excellent help for those who struggle to explain to others why we hunt. Often non-hunters don't understand why we chose to hunt, and we don't always have the words to explain what we instinctively understand. This book can help put into words that understanding and maybe help someone answer the "Why" question. From an evolutionary perspective, physiological, psychological, social, and even environmental perspective. If you're a hunter, you'll see yourself mirrored on the pages, and in the voices of the authors.

The heart of hunting
The authors have an obvious passion for the subject, and it's clear that a lot of research went into this book. At certain points, the narrating author is near to being overcome by emotion. The "out-takes" at the end (and one or two inside the main book) provide a glimpse of the authors' personalities and flesh out some stories only briefly mentioned in the book.
The book has educated this not-yet-hunter on aspects of hunting that are poorly understood by non-hunters, such as the degree to which hunting funds conservation and supports the health of animal populations, and the fact that so-called "trophy hunters" do not waste the rest of the animal.
Having the different types of text - headings, summaries and stories; quotations; and the main text - read by different voices makes it very easy to follow the structure of the book despite the audio format.
