N2  - A study of the evolution of war throughout human history which shows that the purpose of war has remained unchanged whereas the technology has altered so much that in a modern full scale conflict millions would die almost immediately. Asks whether mankind is capable of abolishing war, whether terrorism actually serves existing militaries and what effect mass communication technologies might have on the control of conflict.
