"Students like Ziegler. That's why I keep using his book. Ziegler has a wonderful talent for integrating current research findings skillfully and accurately without getting into jargon, statistics or turgid discussion. It's the clarity of his writing that I appreciate most."—Jacquelyn Yates, Kent State University-Salem

"I do not know of any current text with this approach; this one appears to be unique....If you are in the market for a quality text that gives historical underpinnings to the conflicts of this century, then this is your book. It is well written and researched."—Dean A. Minix, University of Houston, Downtown

"I have been using Ziegler since the mid-1980s because it is both readable and solid in scholarship. Ziegler's book is very valuable in filling in the 'gaps' in the typical student's knowledge of history."—John Molloy, Michigan State University

"Ziegler has long been a successful book in a crowded and competitive field. It is straightforward, analytical, and accurate."—Richard Foster, Idaho State University

War, Peace, and International Politics is a proven success in the classroom that examines a unique and continually important characteristic of international relations-war. This classic text first seeks to discover the causes of war by looking at historical cases and moves from these cases to theories. It then analyzes a variety of proposals for eliminating war, or if not eliminating it, then at least reducing its effects. This eighth edition features new discussions on bilateral solutions and diplomacy, ethnic conflict, an updated discussion of the Euro, and further discussion on attempting to disarm Iraq.
