Eplores the causes, operations, endings, and justifications of war. In the process, it demolishes many fashionable illusions, such as that peace is always preferable to war, that wars occur because of accidents or misunderstandings, and that technology changes the nature of war. Historical and contemporary examples show that all wars are deliberate political choices, that military operations follow timeless principles, and that the natural aim of war is victory.
