Meer over het boek

War, despite its brutality, has historically propelled human progress, according to political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg. In this well-researched study, Ginsberg argues that armed conflict fosters societal traits associated with advancement, such as rationality, technological innovation, economic growth, and the emergence of liberal governments. His analysis provides a thought-provoking perspective on the paradoxical relationship between warfare and civilization's development.
