Description

Built around eight case studies, "Why Nations Go to War" covers the crucial events that led to the outbreak of the 20th century's major military conflicts, with particular focus on the pivotal role leaders play in pushing a nation over the threshold into war. Including coverage of developments in Kosovo and Serbia, the Arab Israeli conflict, and Iraq in the post-Gulf War era, this new edition also features a chapter on conflicts between India and Pakistan including recent nuclear proliferation.
