Traditions of War

`Review from previous edition This is a valuable and challenging book' Military History `Nabulsi's book demonstrates creativity of a very high order. Its strength lies in its inspired attempt to identify neglected strands in the history of international thought ... original and provocative, and also illustrated from impressively eclectic reading...thought provokng.' English Historial Review `This book is as remarkable in its originality and the boldness of its intellectual approach as in the richness and variety of its erudition... Her book does not merely deploy a staggering erudition in such specialised realms as the history of war and military art, but also in the domain of political philosophy, where it is brimming with illuminating analyses and intuitions on patriotism and nationalism, on the logic of State, and on the republican spirit.' Critique Internationale `Politics, law and war are skilfully interwoven ... This is more a work of political thought than about the practice of war, but a reminder of the importance to military history of varied responses to occupation.' European History Quarterly
