Atrocitology: Humanity's 100 Deadliest Achievements

Atrocitology: Humanity's 100 Deadliest Achievements by White, Matthew. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780857861238.

In this wholly original and remarkably ambitious work, Atrocitologist Matthew White considers mans inhumanity to man across several thousand years of history. From the First Punic War and the collapse of Mayan rule to the reign of Peter the Great and the cataclysmic events of the Second World War, Whites epic book spans centuries and civilisations as it measures the hundred most violent events in human history. If we study history in order to avoid the mistakes of the past, then there can be no more important place to start.
