Dear Colleague,

Library of Social Science is the world premier Website presenting documentation and research on the psychological, cultural and historical sources and meanings of collective forms of violence. We feature:

• Ideologies of Genocide, War & Terror: Seminal papers, essays, speeches, and books by the most prominent authors in the field--as well as videos and films.
   
• Library of Social Science Newsletters: nearly 600 in our archive.
   
• Books, papers, essays, and podcasts by Richard Koenigsberg
   
• Library of Social Science Book Reviews

It recently came to our attention that we have failed to publish, promote and distribute work by one of the major thinkers in this field: Brian Victoria. He is author of the following groundbreaking books:

• Zen at War
   
• Zen War Stories
   
• Zen Terror in Prewar Japan: Portrait of an Assassin (just published)

Brian's paper, "Holy War: Toward a Holistic Understanding" appears on our website.

In the next three issues of the LSS Newsletter we will present Brian's paper in an easy-to-read, digestible format. We hope you will take the time to dig in to the writings of this profound thinker.

Best regards,

Mary Helen (MHGS)
