Description: Warfare since the Second World War by Torsten Schwinghammer (1999, Hardcover). Ex Libris with one noted check out, Hardcover, dust jacket, no notes highlights etc Warfare Since the Second World War presents a wealth of analysis and data about one of the most pressing questions of our time: why does war continue to plague us fifty years after World War II? This book argues that the nature of war has shifted from inter-state conflicts toward internal conflicts, above all civil war. Low-intensity conflict helps explain the constant increase in wars over the last fifty years and makes it probable this trend will continue. Gantzel and Schwinghammer argue that modern warfare reflects a continuation of the nation-state-building process begun in nineteenth-century Europe.In their analysis, economic modernization and social integration destroy traditional relations and create instability in the developing world. While these forces were successfully harnessed by the modern state in Europe and North America, economic and political globalization make a similar resolution considerably more complex. Authoritative and Respected: Torsten Schwinghammer is a respected military historian and scholar, and this book is considered a seminal work in the field of modern military history. The book is well-researched and draws on a wide range of sources, making it an authoritative and reliable resource. Overall, "Warfare since the Second World War" is a valuable addition to any library, particularly for those interested in military history, modern warfare, and international relations.
