He also notes the lack of attention paid to civil wars until the West began to intervene in them during the 1990s and how the boundaries between peace and war, between the military, the civilian, and the criminal are becoming increasingly blurred. Freedman's account of a century and a half of warfare and the (often misconceived) thinking that precedes war is a challenge to hawks and doves alike, and puts current strategic thinking into a bracing historical perspective., Books<

Where are the new dangers What is the best defence How might peace come about This is the history of how over the last 150 years we have tried - rightly and wrongly - to predict war's future.
