Summary

This lively book reveals a remarkable and tremendously important finding: fully democratic nations have never made war on other democracies. Furthermore, says the author, they probably never will. He analyzes for the first time every instance in history of a democracy confronting another with military force, from ancient Athens to modern America, and offers practical advice to ensure future peace.

Author Biography

Spencer R. Weart is director of the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics.
