About the Author:
Review:
Gabriel Kolko (1932–2014) was Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at York University in Toronto. He was the author of Anatomy of War, Century of War, and Another Century of War?, all available from The New Press.
"Gabriel Kolko [is] the foremost modern historian of war and its political consequences." —John Gittings, The Guardian
"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." —Toronto Globe & Mail
