Description

Why Wars Happen is an in-depth exploration of one of history's most complex and intriguing questions: why wars occur. Jeremy Black, a leading military historian, draws on a wide range of disciplines to examine the causes of conflict, from cultural differences to changes in warfare and international relations. Black considers three main types of war - between cultures, within cultures, and civil - and explores how they relate to broader issues such as diplomatic breakdowns and state character. He also looks at contemporary conflicts and assesses the potential course of future wars. This thought-provoking analysis offers valuable insights into the causes of conflict, making it a compelling read for historians and those interested in military history.
