It would be a welcome addition to any military history or international relations syllabus lacking an accessible and thought-provoking text on the causes of war... Highly recommended * CHOICE * Azar Gat is among the most brilliant of historians of war, with a masterful command of history and biology, and a gift for combining them to provide deep and revelatory insight. War has long been considered an enigma of the human condition, but after reading this book you will feel that you understand it. * Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Better Angels of Our Nature * Exhilarating - it makes clear and brave statements rather than hedging contentious matters... * Sir Paul Collier, Professor of Economics and Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford *
