Summary
This book shows that wars that have hitherto been mainly interpreted as driven by economic, resource, ethnic or clan interests (such as the conflicts in Liberia and Somalia in the early 1990s) do have an overriding political rationale, which revalidate Carl von Clausewitz's nineteenth-century understanding of war.--, Provided by Publisher
