Title: Profound Thinking for the New Century
Review: There have been numerous attempts to analyze war and the reasons for war. Clausewitz's On War, and Sun Tzu's Art of War are just two of the best known examples.These books generally cover how and why countries go to war. They are not much help in make more sense of things like ethnic clensing in the Balkans, another genocide in Rwanda, or the 9/11 attacks. Another fundamental shift is the moving of wars away from the major powers to the developing world.The conclusions reached by a wide selection of researchers and professors of international relations, military theory are mixed. It rather depends on how you intrepret On War, not the easiest book to read. But in any case this book provides some profound thinking on the nature of war at the beginning of the new century. All but two of the contributors are based in Europe. This brings an additional international aspect to the writing.
