‘War’s Hidden Costs’ presents a groundbreaking examination of warfare’s enduring psychological and social impacts that persist long after battles end. Through a comprehensive analysis of multiple conflicts, the book reveals how combat’s true costs extend far beyond traditional casualty counts and physical destruction, often affecting societies for 50-75 years after conflicts conclude.
The research uniquely combines military archives, psychological assessments, and longitudinal studies to paint a complete picture of war’s lasting legacy. The book is structured in three illuminating sections, beginning with the science behind intergenerational trauma transmission, supported by neurobiological research. It then explores the disruption of social networks and community bonds through detailed case studies, before examining adaptive mechanisms that contribute to both individual and societal resilience. This methodical progression helps readers understand not just the problems war creates, but also potential paths to recovery and healing.
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, bridging military history with social psychology and neuroscience. By analyzing previously unmined sources, including declassified military documents and multi-generational family studies, the book challenges conventional understanding of warfare’s costs. The accessible writing style makes complex concepts understandable while maintaining academic rigor, making it valuable for both scholars and general readers interested in understanding the full scope of war’s hidden impact on society.
