Quotes by Richard Alston (?)

“Civil war is an exercise in building group loyalties. The trauma of civil war and massacre works not just to desocialize the victims but to socialize the killers into a particular ethical and political stance. Men who had killed together were bound together.”
― Richard Alston, Rome's Revolution: Death of the Republic and Birth of the Empire
