Conflict, War and Revolution

The book explores the historical interplay of politics, violence, and state relations through the perspectives of ten influential theorists, including Thucydides, Machiavelli, and Lenin. It examines how these thinkers address the complexities of war, revolutions, and terrorism, challenging the notion of the state as the ultimate authority in international affairs. Each theorist is analyzed in depth, highlighting their unique contributions beyond simplistic 'realist' versus 'moralist' frameworks, offering a nuanced understanding of political thought and its implications for contemporary issues.
