Summary: A social history of war throughout human society which argues that violent conflict has been a feature of human life as far back as it can be traced. The modern era of relative peace reflects the lower individual risk of violence resulting from people living in state based societies, but it is said this should not be taken to mean that modern liberal democracies at peace with one another will become the norm.
