After constructing a theoretical framework of ideas, ideologies, and governmental factors that have been suggested as causing international wars, the author checks these hypotheses against developments that led to the outbreak of major wars since 1914, such as W.W. II, Vietnam, and the Arab-Israeli wars. Focuses on immediate causes of war, for example, nationalism, fascism, totalitarian leaders, and democracy.

Communism in Transition (1993) examines the mainstays of Communist ideology, and goes on to look at the collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union, and in Eastern Europe. It also analyses Asian and Latin American Communist systems and their challenges to the non-Communist world, and concludes by evaluating the democratic revolutions in the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe, their possible effect on other Communist states, why the revolutions surprised Western pundits, and the implications of these events for world peace.
