Description
Every war is an expression of the failure of human reason. Wars begin because people cannot agree on the values at stake and therefore resort to physical violence. This Czech-language book by a prominent Czech political scientist and historian reflects on the origins of wars throughout history, while also addressing total nuclear war, limited war, strategic weapons, deterrence and civil wars. It defines the legal limits on the use of force, considers the nature of war crimes and summarizes theories about the causes of wars. The final chapter examines the possible causes of future wars, particularly in the context of the potential self-destruction of humanity.
