• catalog abstract ""In this daring and wide-ranging work, David Kaiser looks at four hundred years of modern European history to find the political causes of general war. In four distinct periods (1559-1659, 1661-1713, 1792-1815, 1914-1945) he shows how war became a natural function of politics, a logical consequence of contemporary political behavior. Rather than fighting simply to expand, states in each era fought wars for specific political and economic reasons, in particular ways, and with particular consequences."--Book Jacket.".
