Is war a natural condition of humankind' What are the origins of war' Is the modern state dependent on warfare' How does war affect the individual, combatant or noncombatant' Can there be an end to war' Keegan addresses these questions with a breathtaking knowledge of history and the many other disciplines that have attempted to explain the phenomenon.
