The Coming End of War (SAGE Library of Social Research) - Softcover

Is the possibility of nuclear war between the superpowers disappearing? A distinguished political scientist discusses the prohibitive cost of nuclear war in an economically interdependent world, and shows how national interest will be more cheaply advanced in the future by war-by-proxy or on non-military battlefields.

'...the work represents a useful addition to the debate about the implications of changing ecological conditions on the conduct of world politics...Levi's work is likely to gain recognition for its systematic examination of one of the most thought-provoking propositions in the international relations field. The book is a useful and welcome contribution.' -- The American Political Science Review, Volume 77

'Levi, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, presents convincing arguments in this concise and well-written book why nuclear war, at least between the United States and the Soviet Union, is not a realistic military scenario.' -- Infantry, Nov/Dec 1981
