''An Anthropologist’s View of War'' is a book written by Franz Boas, a prominent anthropologist of the early 20th century. The book explores the causes and effects of war from an anthropological perspective, examining the social and cultural factors that contribute to conflict. Boas argues that war is not a natural or inevitable phenomenon, but rather a product of specific historical and cultural conditions. He also examines the impact of war on societies, including its effects on social organization, economic systems, and cultural practices. The book draws on Boas’s extensive research on indigenous cultures in North America and his expertise in cultural anthropology. Overall, ''An Anthropologist’s View of War'' provides a unique and insightful perspective on the complex and multifaceted nature of war and its impact on human societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
