With conflicts around the world dominating the news, we risk taking for granted that people go to war.
But why do countries fight, and what do they hope to gain from causing so much destruction? Can war be avoided or are some wars necessary?
This book explains clearly what is war is and how peace can be achieved, using examples from history and modern times.
