A curious analysis of the history of the world and its conflicts, and an attempt to predict the possible futures. Predicting the future is bound to fail as no one can clearly foresee new developments. A pattern that does emerge is the gradual growth in the size of communities, from families, to villages, to principalities, kingdoms, countries, states and nations and to world alliances. If this is continued eventually perhaps the world will be a single unit. For this however the interests of individuals must be subjugated to the interests of the whole. Will that happen is another question. Magisterial in scope the author surveys law and war and the newly emerging market state of the 21st Century. Could have been two books as the author states. http://web.archive.org/web/20071019104838/http://www.gbn.com/GBNDocumentDisplayS... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Bobbitt nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

For centuries, civilisation has been defined by epoch-making cycles of war and peace. But now our world has changed irrevocably. What faces us in this era of uncertainty? How do we protect ourselves against war machines that can penetrate the defences of any state? Is it too late to try? Visionary and prophetic, The Shield of Achilleslooks back at history, at the 'long war' of 1914-1990 and at the future- the death of the nation-state and the birth of a new, terrifying kind of conflict without precedent in our history.
