War has always been a major event that influences the fate of humanity. An individual's ability to control their destiny in the face of war is no greater than that of an ant. The special charm of war for humans is difficult to explain with simple logic—economic, political, diplomatic, historical, psychological, national, moral, ideological, and military factors all interact with the "Pandora's Box" of human nature. Both the practitioners and observers of war have jointly created human war culture within this "Pandora's Box." This book explores human war from the perspective of human nature, selecting personal writings of famous figures throughout history to comprehensively—both positively and negatively—scan human war. It thereby reveals the good and evil, power and helplessness, destructiveness and hope of human war culture. The authors who wrote the content of this book are among the rare elite in human history. For 5,000 years, they have never written a book together, but now, they have gathered.
