Why do human beings fight one another? In this exhilarating and
bracing book, we learn the common logic driving vainglorious
monarchs, dictators, mobs, pilots, football hooligans, ancient
peoples and fanatics. Distilling decades of economics, political
science, psychology and real-world interventions, and through his
time studying Columbia, Chicago, Liberia and Northern Ireland,
Christopher Blattman lifts the lid on the underlying forces
governing war and peace. Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Will China
invade Taiwan and launch WWIII? And what can any of us do about it?
'Captivating and intelligent' Tim Harford 'Wise, intriguing,
imaginative' Rory Stewart 'Nothing could be more relevant today
than war and peace . . . an outstanding and original book on this
topic' Martin Wolf, Financial Times 'Important, readable, radical'
David Miliband 'A great storyteller with important insights for us
all' Richard Thaler, co-author of Nudge 'Essential for
understanding the world we live in today' James A. Robinson,
co-author of Why Nations Fail
