The Remnants of War

Discover a thought-provoking perspective on contemporary warfare with Remnants of War by renowned author John Mueller, published by Cornell University Press in 2004. This compelling hardback spans 277 pages and explores the evolving concept of war in the modern context, arguing that it has become an idea much like dueling or slavery—a practice increasingly viewed as discredited and reduced to its remnants. Through insightful analysis, Mueller posits that the true combatants today are merely the thugs left behind in this transition. Ideal for those interested in international relations, military history, and the political dynamics surrounding conflict, this book will invite you to rethink the very essence of warfare. Engage with Mueller's nuanced interpretations and discover how the remnants of war shape our contemporary understanding of security and political freedom.
