{"product_id":"war-angelo-codevilla-9781574886108","title":"War: Ends and Means, Second Edition","description":"This book explores the causes, operations, endings, and justifications of war. In the process, it demolishes many currently fashionable illusions, such as that peace is always preferable to war, that wars occur because of accidents or misunderstandings, and that technology changes the nature of war. Abundant historical and contemporary examples show, the authors contend, that all wars are deliberate political choices, that military operations follow timeless principles, and that, as Aristotle taught, the natural aim of war is victory. This new edition of the book that Eugene Rostow called \"a gem,\" Michael Howard called \"shrewd and trenchant,\" and \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e called \"persuasive\" devotes substantial attention to the wars of the post-Cold War period, including \"the war on terrorism.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelo Codevilla, Paul Seabury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157488610X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574886108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.06w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 317","brand":"Angelo Codevilla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047331590399,"sku":"9781574886108","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0be13a5-fede-4211-b026-516a3fd37a0d.jpg?v=1684989596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-angelo-codevilla-9781574886108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
