The Cambridge History of WarVolume 4, War and the Modern World

Edited by Roger Chickering, Georgetown University, Washington DC, Dennis Showalter, Colorado College and Hans van de Ven, University of Cambridge

Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a defi nitive new account of war in the most destructive period in human history.
