Extract

The Behavioral Origins of War. By D. Scott Bennett and Allan C. Stam. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2004. 300p. $59.50 cloth, $24.95 paper.

An aphorism in the natural sciences states that one should either write the first article on a subject or the last one. The statistical study of war began in the 1930s and 1940s with the work of Lewis Richardson and Quincy Wright, then expanded massively in the 1960s with the Correlates of War project based at the University of Michigan. Those were the first articles. This book is potentially the last important one.
