3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book, though some factural errors.,

This review is from: The Rosy Future of War (Hardcover)
Mr. Delmas predicts where the international system is headed based on his analysis of states' behaviors in the past. I'm not sure if he's arguing eroding sovereignty or attempts to maintain sovereignty are a major cause of conflict. Perhaps both? There is one definite factural error. Mr. Delmas says that the U.S. warship Liberty, attacked by the Israelis during the 1967 War, was sank with all hands. This is not true. The ship was attacked with dozens of men killed, but the ship steamed to a safe port. If interested, see Lt. Ennes' books, Assault on the Liberty. That said, Mr. Delmas' is a short book. Worth a read for a French perspective. If you only have time for one book though, consider Daniel Moynihan's Pandemonium. Similar subject, but with I think, a better analysis.
