How does ‘Coddling’ compare to Righteous Mind?
Enlightening weekend exercise:
1) Read first-person accounts of WWII tank warfare on the Eastern Front
2) Read 'The coddling of the American mind' by @JonHaidt and @glukianoff.
3) compare & contrast different meanings of 'violence' then & now

Both excellent, but righteous mind is more general and theoretical.

The way those tankers expressed their comradely love for one another would have traumatized this generation, never mind their battle skills.

Otto Carius' _Tigers in the Mud_ is an excellent place to start for (1). It's a classic of that rather niche genre.

Haidt's book is on my reading list. Looking foward to it. P.S. Did you ever read "Clash of Civilizations" or "Who are We?" by the late Harvard political science professor Samuel P. Huntington? If not, I recommend both. Best as always.
