Otterbein, Keith F.

Opis

First published in 1994, Keith F. Otterbein’s scholarship had followed an overall design since 1962, when he began conducting comparative studies of warfare using both ethnographic and cross-cultural methods. This volume will serve both as a useful introduction to the anthropology of war and as a needed compendium of Otterbein’s ideas.
