This is the fourth volume of a projected six-volume series charting
the causes of war from 3000 BCE to the present day, written by a
leading international lawyer, and using as its principal materials
the documentary history of international law, largely in the form
of treaties and the negotiations which led up to them. These
volumes seek to show why millions of people, over thousands of
years, slew each other. In departing from the various theories put
forward by historians, anthropologists and psychologists, the
author offers a different taxonomy of the causes of war, focusing
on the broader settings of politics, religion, migrations and
empire-building. These four contexts were dominant and often
overlapping justifications during the first four thousand years of
human civilisation, for which written records exist.
