Krátky popis
A history of wars through the ages and across the world, and the
irrational calculations that so often lie behind them Benjamin
Franklin once said, ",There never was a good war or a bad peace.",
But what determines whether war or peace is chosen? Award-winning
sociologist Michael Mann concludes that it is a handful of
political leaders-people with emotions and ideologies, and
constrained by inherited culture and institutions-who undertake
such decisions, usually irrationally choosing war and seldom
achieving their desired results. Mann examines the history of war
through the ages and across the globe-from ancient Rome to Ukraine,
from imperial China to the Middle East, from Japan and Europe to
Latin and North America. He explores the reasons groups go to war,
the different forms of wars, how warfare has changed and how it has
stayed the same, and the surprising ways in which seemingly
powerful countries lose wars.In masterfully combining ideological,
economic, political, and military analysis, Mann offers new insight
into the many consequences of choosing war.
