Reviewer's Comment - The original two volume
edition was published by the Univ of Chicago in 1942. It resulted from an
extensive research program initiated there in 1926 to study the causes of war.
The original edition conains the footnotes and details of the research. The
project was seen as a contribution to the 'peace making' effort after the
trauma of World War One, such as at Locarno. The table of contents describes
the subject matter.
Note the chapter headings on 'War' and 'Warfare'. War is described as a
condition - an event either brief or long. It is undertaken with objectives.
While Warfare is described as the conduct of operations performed during a war
to achieve the objectives of the 'war'. As the reader can see from the content
of chapters on 'war' it is a much different in scope than 'warfare'.
