CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"War, Peace and International Relations is an introduction to the strategic history of the past two centuries, years which were shaped and reshaped by wars. The book shows that war is not only about warfare - the military conduct of war - but is crucial to the political, social and cultural behaviour of states." "Written by leading strategist Professor Colin Gray, this textbook provides students with a good grounding in the contribution of war to the development of the modern world, from the pre-industrial era to the post-industrial age of international terrorism and smart weapons."--BOOK JACKET.
