Why the world is at war. The causes of hostility and the path to reconciliation

Christopher Blattman, economist and political scientist, in his book "Why the World Wars. Causes of Enmity and Paths to Reconciliation" invites the reader to try to understand the causes of world wars and the possibilities of preventing them. The book was recognized as the best history book on the Amazon website, it is recommended to read by many world scholars and historians. Here are interesting facts and ideas of the book: it turns out that one of the main causes of world conflicts - lack of awareness of the military level of the enemy, which does not give the opportunity to objectively assess the situation; if the forces of the opponents are roughly equal - the war can end in the first few days; often opponents artificially create an atmosphere of uncertainty and demonstrate contrived ferocity and willingness to go to extremes, which does not correspond to reality. This is also common in the world of wildlife: intimidating sounds, hissing, grinning. And in our time, it is the testing of weapons, the freezing of enemies' bank accounts, military parades. Fascinating and in-depth analysis of hundreds of conflicts of today and a century ago allows the author to argue that war is not a series of mistakes and emotional decisions. There is a logic of decision-making, strategy, ideology and other forces that are the basis for all world conflicts.
