by Greg Cashman (Author), Leonard C. Robinson (Author)

This pioneering book explains the causes of war through a sustained combination of theoretical insights and detailed case studies from WWI to the Iraq War. Cashman and Robinson find that, while all wars have multiple causes, specific factors typically combine in identifiable "dangerous patterns" that lead to bloody conflicts between countries.
