Algora Publishing, 2002 - 280 pàgines
In this snappily-written interdisciplinary framework for understanding war's nature and causation, Moseley considers war from all angles: Christian, Marxist, Platonic, behavioralist, economic, psychological, and biological. He concludes that market-based societies tend to foster cooperation more than combat.
