Only The Dead by Bear F. Braumoeller
The Persistence of War in the Modern Age
A data-driven rebuttal to the notion that war is fading, arguing that conflict persists because states’ willingness and capacity to fight endure. Drawing on centuries of evidence, it shows that apparent declines often reflect fewer opportunities and shifting international orders that can reduce violence within their cores while externalizing it to the periphery. The argument warns that peace is fragile and cyclical rather than inevitable, urging sober policy grounded in deterrence, institutional management, and attention to the conditions that make war more or less likely.
