I liked the resolution of this book, and the ancient story was very interesting. I wish there was more real history from this time that I could find easily.
I love the idea put forward in this book: If all the men in the world were gone, would there still be mass violence? I think there would not be, and I must agree with both sides put forward in the book. If most men were removed from the population, humanity would instantly have less violence, but we are slowly working our way there already.
It did take an unnecessarily long time to get to these points though. As much as I love a good, long book, I think there could have been a solid 50 pages cut out of this and it wouldn't have lost any of its power.
