Abstract

My book, War in Human Civilization, set out to unravel the ‘riddle of war’, to find the answers to the most fundamental and long-elusive questions concerning war.1 Why do people fight? Is war rooted in human nature, or did people start to engage in it only with the advent of agriculture, the state and civilization? How has war affected and how has it been affected by modernity and by the spread of democracy? What is the future of war?.
