Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost Free Audiobook Download by Michael Walsh


Michael Walsh's book Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost is a story of how our male instincts and needs can be more complex than we realize. Sometimes, as humans, we are so blinded by the emotion of anger that we unwittingly cause jeopardy in relationships and situations when there was no real threat at all.

Michael Walsh, whose latest book is 'Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost', is a senior writer for The Atlantic Monthly. His work examines the cultures of masculinity and violence. In this audiobook he looks at the male ego in a masculine society where 'the game is never over'.

In the audiobook version of Michael Walsh's "Last Stands," listeners hear the tales of how men fight when all is lost. They have a limited time, often no means for defending themselves, and are simply trying to protect what they have left. As the narrator notes, "Men, biologically and culturally speaking, are fighters. That's why we go to war."

The author spends the book traveling around the world to look at different cultures and societies. He asks himself why men fight when all is lost, and answers back with a deeply personal story about his own life. The author tells us that he believes in fighting to make up for what he views as the mistakes of his mother.

This essay discusses the culture of honor, or Masculinity, that has existed in many societies for centuries. It also talks about how this culture is believed to have been key in the transition from violent societies based on warfare and violence somewhat formed by society itself, to peaceful societies with respect for each other.

As a man who has seen combat and served, Michael Walsh knows what it's like to be in the final moments of life. When he heard about an American soldier who refused to give up in the face of certain death, he knew that perhaps one day in the future, another man might also have a similar story to tell.
