Most officers join the organisation after other dreams have slipped beyond reach, their presence in the Service being almost accidental. But once employed, they re-write their self-narratives and enact carefully choreographed performances to ease managerial and public pressure, and to rationalize their coercive practices.

Steven Pinker is that the Harvard faculty academic of scientific discipline at Harvard. This book is about what may be the most important thing that has ever happened in human history.

Barbaric practices such as human sacrifice, torture-executions and chattel slavery have been abolished; rates of death from war and homicide are dramatically down; and brutality towards minorities, women, children and animals is in steady decline.
Weaving together psychology and history, science and popular culture, The Better Angles of Our Nature reinvigorates the ideals of modernity, progress and enlightenment. Pinker's powerful ideas, vivid stories and sparkling prose make this hard to put down. For anyone interested in human nature, it is engrossing.
