Bringing together scholars, politicians, and statesmen, this title examines what can be learned from the wars of the 20th century, and how that knowledge might help us. It reviews what we have learned about war and establishes benchmarks for judging whether that knowledge is being translated into changes in the behaviour of our political cultures.
A distinguished group of journalists, scholars, and government officials assess what we have learned from the wars of the twentieth century and how that knowledge might help us as we venture perilously into the twenty-first.
