Beschreibung
We may look at human history as a fratricidal tragedy, an unbroken series of wars and unending misery. Motivated by the desire for status, power and wealth, humankind has fought to win and bask in glory, leaving the losers stewing in resentment and looking for revenge. Yet amid this darkness we also can see moments of hope in which the brighter aspects of the human spirit have triumphed over evil. Love that comes when brothers reconcile is a much stronger bond for unity and peace than the bonds of empire, or even of trade. This book gives a comprehensive insight into the internal component of fratricide in the broadest sense – beginning with the biblical story of the murder of Abel right up to the standoff between capitalism and communism. Only when the age-old cause has been exposed and solved, can peace finally be established.
