that enable and restrain killing in these
situations. This field of study was pioneered by
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, in his Pulitzer-nominated
book, On Killing The Psychological Cost of
Learning to Kill in War and Society. Following
his best selling, Pulitzer Prize nominated book
On Killing, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, with Loren W.
Christensen, present On Combat, a ground-breaking
examination of what it takes to perform, cope and
survive in the toxicity of deadly combat as a
soldier in a foreign land, and a police officer
in the mean streets of urban America.
