Detalles del libro
"Since the Gulf War, debates on the future of war have often seemed intoxicated by the new military technology and the promise of quick, low-risk, low-casualty conflict. Recent wars in Kosovo and Chechnya, seem not to have disabused much of the public, the press and policy-makers of this perspective." "In his book, Professor Jeremy Black deepens the debate by focusing on the realities of war. In place of an over-sanguine estimate of the effectiveness of force-backed, Western meditation, the author dispassionately assesses the present, and likely future, role of war in shaping the world order. Black explores key themes including the reality of 'rogue states', the roles of gender and religion and the perceived rise of China as a world power competing with the USA."--BOOK JACKET.
