Book Overview
War and peace are as important as other institutions- science, politics, family, economy, religion, etc.- but rarely receive the same level of sociological attention. Systems of War and Peace covers this gap by presenting a coherent framework for understanding why and how wars start and end; what military organizations are, how they function, and where they came from; plus, how peace has been achieved in the past and how it can be achieved...

Caplow's thoughts provide an informative perspective on war
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This text served as the basis for a course taught by the author (Theodore Caplow) at the University of Virginia. It is highly informative and thankfully easy to read. Useful to students of history, international relations, and sociology, I would recommend this title to anyone hoping to gain an understanding of the causes, courses, and consequences of war.
