Project Status:
Please Note: The motivation behind the writing of History and Systems of Conflict is complex. Some new ideas are being tried, thereby, the book is more of a project than a completed text. It should be considered a Work In Progress (WIP). For that reason, the book has more than one title! It is, also, known as History and Systems of Aggression.

As an example of the complexity, the book, also, is a WIKI project being edited by them:

The book, also, is part of a course at Harvard University. A description of that course can be found on a subsequent page of this website (see navigation bar).
