Description

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.
