Reviews
'The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the possibility of more such operations in future, make Sir Michael Howard's book of the greatest importance. Itshould be read not only by analysts, but by every concerned Western citizen.' * Anatol Lieven *
'lucid, witty and trenchant A... these anti-war theories could hardly be more interestingly presented.' * RUSI Journal *
'This is a book that everyone should read. It is a short, elegant masterpiece, where every chapter has the cliff-hangar ending of peace being declared, only to be followed by a new phase of war, more awful than that which had gone before.' * Professor James Gow, Dept. of War Studies, King's College London *
'So well written that it could be read as a novel-except few novels are so interesting. To take one strand of history and unravel it in this way is not only a service to historians but to the ordinary bus-riding liberal anxious to clarify his own thought.' * Books and Bookmen *
