One of the most thought provoking books I've ever read is "A Terrible Love of War" by James Hillman. This books explores the topic of the linked article from a Jungian point of view (motifs, archetypes, metaphors, mythology, etc...) which may turn off some people, but I found it expansive and fascinating. Highly recommended if the topic of the Esquire article was interesting to you.
