Résumé ou extrait
  • "Richard Hobbs examines one of society's greatest problems: the need for reconciliation between the democratic dislike of war and the appropriate use of the military instrument in world politics. He questions whether the results obtained in war are worth the expenditures made and contends that victory gained from total war -- war pushed to its outer limits -- is illusory and not commensurate with the terrible cost."
