“Killing for God: An Analysis of Conflict in the Abrahamic Religions” by Stephen Schwalbe

"Given the extremely high cost of overseas military operations today, the author offers readers scholarly insights as to what motivates kingdoms, countries, and groups to engage in religious conflict, beginning with those found in the Hebrew Bible.
