Studies in War and Peace

262 pp. "This book presents considerations of the nature of both war and the international order within which war arises. Proceeding from examinations of the nineteenth-century military theorists and the great battles of that time, Mr. Howard reflects on the purpose (or purposelessness) of the First World War and looks into some of the major internal conflicts of the Second: that between Hitler and his generals, and that between inter-Allied forces in the Mediterranean."--jacket
