Why Nations Go to War

Meant to transmit an understanding of warfare from World War I to the present, WHY NATIONS GO TO WAR, a unique book and a product of reflection by the author, is built around ten case studies culminating in the two new wars that ushered in the twenty-first century, Afghanistan and Iraq. The distinguishing feature of the text remains the author's emphasis on the pivotal role of the personalities of leaders who take their nations or their following across the threshold into war.Stoessinger, John G. is the author of 'Why Nations Go to War ', published 2004 under ISBN 9780534273033 and ISBN 0534273033.
