ENDORSEMENTS
“A noted specialist in war studies completely redirects canonical international relations away from war-cause preoccupations to war as generative and self-reinforcing. War here is a human-built mountain, always present and always on the verge of an injurious lava spew. Brilliant.”

—Roland Bleiker, Professor of International Relations, University of Queensland
