Aggression has driven us to great heights and brutal lows.

Through his broad scholarship, Fromm offers a comprehensive exploration of the human impulse for violence.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV><I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</I></DIV></DIV>
