Арлин Одергон, психотерапевт, специалист по постконфликтной реабилитации и консультант ООН, исследует, как насилие проникает в наше сознание, превращая обычных людей в участников разрушительных конфликтов. Основываясь на собственном опыте и истории ХХ–XXI веков, она утверждает, что война начинается не с выстрела, а с манипуляции чувствами справедливости и принадлежности. Автор описывает механизмы, раскручивающие маховик войны: чувство моральной правоты подпитывает жестокость, страх становится оружием, а травма—наследием поколений.

From the 1970s to the early 1990s, New York City was seen, justifiably, as out of control. The city approached bankruptcy, the subways were covered with graffiti, and murders were at a record high. Right-wing fearmongering and vigilante justice were countered by liberal pleas to end poverty and provide drug treatment—none of which happened. Then, in a surprising break from the past, new NYPD leadership decided to focus on crime. Between 1993 and 1996, New York City's murder numbers were cut in half, dropping to under 1,000 for the first time in decades.
