   Is why we fight a good book?

   • Why We Fight is a great intro to the current state of social scientific research on conflict, violence and war. It doesn't in any way have the final word on these subjects, but for someone like me who is a relative outsider to this field, it is a useful primer on a model of conflict which will likely be very influential for years to come.

   Does Blattman's book offer a theory of war?

   • To the people living through these conflicts, the rarity of such events provides little solace. Blattman's book seeks to elucidate why rival powers occasionally abandon peaceful negotiation and resort to war. While its title suggests an exploration of the causes of war, the book doesn't offer a comprehensive theory of war.
