This updated and revised edition (first, 1982) reflects recent upheavals in the global geopolitical climate and examines why countries continue to build war arsenals in times of peace. The author discusses a conceptual and historical framework for understanding war; causes of war; ideological, historical, economic and military aspects of the present world situation; and the United Nations and international law. A section on solving the war problem covers reforming attitudes, government, and the international system using the Western approach, the Marxist approach and the Ghandi-King approach. Includes an appendix of relevant dates. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
