Understanding war + history is not...Not a bad read. Understanding war + history is not easy. You need to understand global politics and economics to understand war. If you ever read any history book, read Global Rift: The Third World Comes of Age by L.S.Stavrianos . I read this book in 1997 in college and still count it in the top books of my life. A huge book 850+ pages, it thoroughly documents the history of the development of capitalism, colonialism and the struggles for decolonization. It has changed my understanding of the relationship between politics, war and economics more than anything else. I would suggest you read it as soon as possible, for it will take you a while to digest it.Hakophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614635463146023735noreply@blogger.com
