Summary: Easy to follow international relations text
Comment: This book presents the concept of offense and defense dominance in the international system and how that makes war more or less likely. This dominance arises from the current technological and social situation of the great powers. The author explores how this has played out in Roman, medieval, and modern times.

The book was written during the Cold War, so some of the conclusions are less valuable today. That being said, the book can be read for the concept which the reader can apply for him- or herself.
