Was the twentieth century the most violent in history? Are religions or tyrants, capitalism or communism the cause of most human suffering? Has violence increased or decreased over the course of history? In this wholly original and remarkably ambitious work, Atrocitologist Matthew White considers mans inhumanity to man across several thousand years of history. From the First Punic War and the collapse of Mayan rule, to the reign of Peter the Great and the cataclysmic events of the Second World War, Whites epic book spans centuries and civilisations as it measures the hundred most violent events in human history. While sceptical of any grand theory for the causes of human violence, White does share three big lessons gleaned from his careful statistical analysis: one, chaos is more deadly than tyranny; two, the world is even more disorganised than we realise; and three, wars kill more civilians than soldiers (in fact, the army is usually the safest place to be). If we study history to avoid the mistakes of the past, then there can be no more important place to start than this eyeopening and entertaining book.

The insights into humanity's darkest achievements are chilling yet fascinating. However, I found the layout a bit chaotic, and some illustrations could've been clearer. It's worth a read, just manage your expectations.

This book really opened my eyes to the darker aspects of human history. Atrocitology does a fantastic job of detailing these events without glorifying them. Highly engaging, I couldn't put it down!

Atrocitology's take on humanity's dark side is both eye-opening and engaging. Each achievement covered is well-researched and presented in a way that keeps you turning the pages. I found the writing style to be quite captivating!
