The murderous trail of violent emotion in the modern era (Reflections on "The Age of Anger")

To be historically literate is difficult. One must work hard to avoid the boatloads of elitist propaganda, and written-by-the-victors just-so stories. As an auto-didact in the area, it has taken me a lifetime to accidentally trip over accurate and concise books about history. (Conciseness is key because it makes for a wider readership.)
