The Invention Of Peace And The Reinvention Of War Summary

The Invention Of Peace And The Reinvention Of War by Michael Howard

Not until the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century did war come to be regarded an unmitigated evil; only after the massive slaughter of two world wards did peace become the declaratory objective of 'civilized' states. This book, already a success in hardback and paperback is reissued with the author's reflections on the latest failure of peace: the war in Afghanistan.

Michael Howard explains the unusual and precarious nature of peace, and the urgent questions that this raises for our time' - Max Wilkinson, Financial Times
