Through a carefully curated assemblage of readings, War and Warfare helps students explore and better understand how violent conflicts have shaped political life and wrought far-reaching consequences throughout history. Readers learn about the major contentions and arguments behind warfare, how conflicts unfold, how nations and international organizations behave, and how various decisions can result in potential ramifications of various degrees.The book begins with an introduction of the nature of war in general before examining the nature of nuclear war, arms control and disarmament, and potential conflicts among leading world powers. Additional chapters and readings address the spread of nuclear weapons to other major states, including North Korea, Iran, India, and Pakistan; conventional and unconventional warfare; and emerging weapons systems and their consequences, including the use of drones and the rise of cyberwarfare. Each chapter features an introduction from the authors to provide readers with critical context.A timely resource that seeks to help students understand modern world conflicts, War and Warfare is an ideal resource for courses in political science, international relations, and world history.
