The nature of war has long been regarded as one of the central issues in international politics and it is one that has become increasingly pressing in the nuclear age. This work provides seven detailed 20th-century case studies which focus on the moment when world leaders crossed the threshold which made armed conflict inevitable. This edition has been updated to cover the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.

"Why Nations Go To War" is more than just a book. Words are transformed into living visuals about what happened in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and why. History and the political decisions of our time come alive on these pages, and the author's analysis serves to weave case studies together into a seamless tapestry that moves the reader from confusion to clarity. In its Tenth Edition, "Why Nations Go To War" joins the ranks of a few classic works that combine intellect with a passion that derives from life experiences ranging from the author's struggles as a refugee in World War II to the challenges of a career at the United Nations. His style is amazingly engaging. Students and readers alike will feel as if they are having a conversation with one of the best-informed academics and practitioners in the field of international relations."
