Understanding Conflict and War: War, Power, Peace

by R.J. Rummel

Massive in its scope, rigorous in its arguments, War, Power, Peace examines specific events, conflicts, crises, and wars as fixed points around which the variables of personalities, national characteristics, and social forces revolve. The consequent generalizations address one over-riding question: What is it about any particular conflict or war that is common to other conflicts or wars? Specifically, what are the common phases, causes, conditions, and aspects of international conflict?
