Heinlein's "Stranger In A Strange Land" - War: A Uniquely Human Reality
8 pages in length. Heinlein's thematic implications abound throughout the pages of Stranger in a Strange Land, with the author tackling such prickly ideas as sexual freedom, institutional domination and organized religion. However, one of his least recognized themes provides a significantly deeper understanding of the human race as it relates to people being able to associate with one another; as such, the aspect of war being wholly foreign to Smith once he arrives on Earth illustrates the extent to which man's intrinsic nature is to constantly be at odds with himself. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
