Does man really develop towards a higher level of civilization? Or are we as savages today as we were at the dawn of history? This book is a charter of ferocity and a record of brutal atrocities committed - even in the name of religion and justice. The facts are terrifying, but no description, no matter how accurate and vivid, can describe the truth that has not been told. This book aims to shock, as humans need to be shocked by their awareness of their potential for ferocity.
