War is a paradox. On the one hand, it destroys bodies and destroys
communities. On the other hand, it is responsible for some of the
strongest human bonds and has been the genesis of many of our most
fundamental institutions. War and Society addresses these paradoxes
while providing a sociological exploration of this enigmatic
phenomenon which has played a central role in human history,
wielded an incredible power over human lives, and commanded
intellectual questioning for countless generations. The authors
offer an analytical account of the origins of war, its historical
development, and its consequences for individuals and societies,
adopting a comparative approach throughout. It ends with an
appraisal of the contemporary role of war, looking to the future of
warfare and the fundamental changes in the nature of violent
conflict which we are starting to witness. This short, readable and
engaging book will be an ideal reading for upper-level students of
political sociology, military sociology, and related subjects.
