Book Info:
Handbook of War Studies III is a follow-up to Handbook of War Studies I (1993) and II
(2000). This new volume collects original work from leading international relations
scholars on domestic strife, ethnic conflict, genocide, and other timely topics. Special
attention is given to civil war, which has become one of the dominant forms—if not the
dominant form—of conflict in the world today.
