On Combat

The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
Book • 2022
On Combat delves into the psychological and physiological impacts of deadly battle on the human body, affecting the nervous system, heart, breathing, visual and auditory perception, and memory.

The book, written by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Loren W. Christensen, provides combat coping strategies, discusses the prevention and management of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and emphasizes the importance of post-combat debriefing for healing.

It also explores historical perspectives on combat, the evolution of combat tactics, and the psychological leverage that enables humans to engage in deadly conflict.

The authors draw on extensive research and anecdotes from combat veterans to offer practical advice on surviving and recovering from combat experiences.
