Shaan Sundar R –
An interesting read, but a bit dense at times. Mallaby makes a compelling case, but it requires patience. A bit long for my taste.
Mohit Bansal –
A bold and ambitious attempt to explain decline in societal violence with compelling arguments. It can be a bit long

I found the book repetitive in places. The core argument is strong, but it could have been presented more concisely.
Anwesha Pal Chaudhuri –
A very insightful analysis of societal trends. It was quite dense, but I appreciate the thorough examination.
Smitesh Sunil Gadge –
Fascinating perspective on the history of violence! Some parts were heavy, but overall, a thought-provoking book.
Pal Rajendrakumar Pandya –
Not an easy read, but the insights are worth the effort. It’s a comprehensive overview of violence trends.
Ashish Chahar –
Informative and insightful. However, at times, the book feels like it is dragging. Overall, a good read, but not perfect.
Aditya Gupta –
A mixed bag. Some chapters were captivating, others felt like a slog. Worth reading, but be prepared for the length.
Amit Rathore –
Challenged my assumptions about violence. Well-researched, though the writing could be more engaging. Good, not great.

Provocative and informative. Mallaby’s arguments are convincing, backed by solid evidence. Highly recommended!
Prithvi Raj Parashar –
While the topic is interesting, I struggled to get through it. The writing style is a bit dry. The argument is okay.
