"Gabriel Kolko [is] the foremost modern historian of war and its political consequences." —John Gittings, <em>The Guardian</em><br /><br />"The totality of his argument is persuasive. I hope that many leaders and formers of public opinion will take the trouble to read this book, as it makes a crucial contribution to thinking about the readiness of war and its aftermath." —<em>Toronto Globe & Mail</em><br />

Over the last three decades the historian Gabriel Kolko has redefined the way we look at modern warfare and its social and political effects. Century of War gives us a masterly synthesis of the effects of war on civilian populations and the political results of these traumatizing experiences in the twentieth century.
