## Description

The Causes of War [Blainey, Geoffrey] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Causes of War

Review: Five Stars - Purchased as a textbook. It was in pristine quality with no internal or cover markings.
Review: A Must-Read for Anyone Specializing in International Relations - This is one of the classic works in its field, and one with practical applications in international relations and national security. Blainey, a conservative social historian, writes one of the best non-ideological, empirically based analyses of why nation-states go to war -- and peace. Logically, the causes for going to war should be mirrored in the reasons why nations make peace at the end of war. Blainey explains why Kissinger's "balance of power" notions are not rules, or even guiding principles. For anyone majoring in international relations, and especially for anyone who wants to become a practitioner, this book is a must-read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Read for Anyone Specializing in International Relations
*by T***Y on April 2, 2015*

This is one of the classic works in its field, and one with practical applications in international relations and national security. Blainey, a conservative social historian, writes one of the best non-ideological, empirically based analyses of why nation-states go to war -- and peace.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Work
*by J***S on August 29, 2004*

It was the principal textbook for a Causes of War class I took. It is very well-written. If you want to understand what really causes war and what people think causes war but doesn't, you should read this book. Blainey provides a great deal of evidence for the claims he makes and gives the arguments of the notions he disputes.
