War, Peace and World Orders in European History Anja V. Hartmann
Unique approach - examines the ways in which different people in different times throughout history perceived and felt about war, peace and world orders
Uses a series of case studies to provide an overview of the changing ways people thought about war and peace throughout European history and to explore the ideas of war and peace in different societies and ages
Written by specialist historians, rather than IR specialists, furnishing the book with more historical authenticity
Controversially shows that most IR theory is inadequate to explain war and peace as it ignores the different ways in which people have thought about them throughout history
Extremely broad range of case studies - from Greeks to Romans, the Crusades to French revolution wars, to persecution in Cold War Communist regimes
