Résumé

War makes headlines and history books. It has shaped the international system, prompted social change, and inspired literature, art and music. Reflecting the character of war, this work addresses a range of questions such as: What are the causes of war? And which strategic as well as moral principles guide its conduct, and how have these changed?

War Résumé

War Lawrence Freedman (Professor of War Studies, Professor of War Studies, King's College, London)

War has shaped the international system, prompted social change, and inspired the arts. The ubiquitous and multi-faceted character of war is fully reflected in this new Oxford Reader. It addresses the causes of war, the experience of war, and the moral and strategic principles behind war through a variety of academic viewpoints, and first-hand accounts by generals, soldiers, historians, strategists, and poets.

War Avis

'This prose anthology of war is a delight for specialists and general readers alike. It works particularly well for dippers like myself. I found I was opening it at random, reading a couple of essays, becoming absorbed, reading more, opening at another point, repeating the process and so on. I shall return to it many times in the future.' Sir Anthony Parsons International Relations Vol XII No 2 Aug '94
'Collections of extracts about war in general or particular wars are nothing new, but this one seems original in its attempted comprehensiveness. It is called an Oxford Reader, and it will no doubt make a very serviceable one for students the whole world over.' Times Literary Supplement
