  • Product Description

    This volume is an abridgment of Quincy Wright's 2-volume study of the causes of war, initiated at the University of Chicago in 1926.

    The original study involved consultations with numerous faculty members and the preparation of over 50 studies have been published in articles and books.

    In this abridged form, 'A Study of War' becomes an extended essay on the phenomenon of war, its history, its causes, its control. It is hoped that this version will be useful to those who want to know why, at a time when individuals and statesmen agree that war as an instrument of national policy is 'obsolete,' military budgets are of unprecedented magnitude and every year since the advent of the nuclear bomb has witnessed armed hostilities-civil, guerrilla, or international."
