Review:
"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."
