A book with an unusual thesis: It is not religions, tribal conflicts, or poverty that are the main reasons for terror and war. Rather, the overwhelming number of disillusioned young men proves to be a significant cause of violence, terror, and war. While after the Middle Ages it was the regions of Europe with many sons that brought aggression and world conquest, today it is the areas of Islam, with their explosive population growth, that represent an enormous reservoir of potential fighters and conquerors. "Sons and World Power" sparked intense controversy upon its first publication in 2003. This is now the expanded and updated edition by Gunnar Heinsohn.
