Description
Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace by Christopher Blattman
An acclaimed expert on violence and seasoned peacebuilder explains the five reasons why conflict rarely blooms into war, and how to interrupt that deadly process. In this thought-provoking book, Blattman draws on decades of economics, political science, psychology, and real-world interventions to shed light on the root causes and remedies for war.
By examining the underlying strategic forces of war, Blattman reveals that most rivals loathe one another in peace, and that violence is not the norm. Instead, he identifies five key reasons why conflict wins over compromise, and how peacemakers can turn the tides through tinkering, not transformation.
