The Remnants of War Hardcover - 2004
by John Mueller
War, one of the great themes of human history, is declining as developed nations have generally abandoned it as a way for conducting their relations with other countries, according to the author. He further asserts that capable domestic policing and military forces can also be effective in reestablishing civic order and that the building of competent governments is key to eliminating most of what remains of warfare.
From the publisher
First line
In October 1990, three months before ordering half a million troops into combat in the Gulf War of 1991, U.S. general Norman Schwarzkopf observed, "War is a profanity because, let's face it, you've got two opposing sides trying to settle their differences by killing as many of each other as they can."
