“Find your purpose,” they say to men.

Your shoulders are made for throwing accurately, with power. Your mind runs to problems, solutions and strategy. Your body is designed to carry you over long distances, ranging overland with speed. You are bigger than women, despite the high cost of making a bigger body. Your spirit seeks to challenge others, to dominate and win. Your purpose is war, son.

King of All Things outlines a view of life grounded in man's eternal relationship with combat. A unique blend of commentary, sourcebook and history, this book lays out a framework for men to acquaint themselves with their manifest purpose. Savage takes a sweeping view of history and culture to make his case, spanning millennia, from the art and culture of Ancient Greeks, to the symbols and men of the Vietnam War.

Our ancestors took the prospect of war seriously; today, we foolishly think mankind can leave war behind. Men should heed the wisdom of their ancestors, and this book is a guide to that end; it outlines the development of mind, body and spirit for combat, including both actionable advice and explanatory theory. Savage pulls no punches in challenging your views on everything from the American soul to fitness culture. This book is what Savage wanted someone to press into his hands during his youth, with the simple instruction: "read this."
