Never at War by Spencer R Weart
This survey of the history of conflict finds that fully democratic nations have never made war on other democracies. Using case studies ranging through history from ancient Athens to modern America, the author analyzes instances in which democracies have confronted each other with military force.
"A stimulating, impressive and important contributionIt has three particular virtues. First, it is clearly written and is thus fully accessible to an audience beyond the academy. Second, the scope of its inquiry is wide...Third, [Weart] offers a refined and expanded version of the democratic peace hypothesis." Michael Mandelbaum, New York Times Book Review "Weart lays out his case in clear, readable prose and livens his narrative with entertaining anecdotes...Never at War is in many ways the most accessible and comprehensive brief for the democratic peace available." Stephen M. Walt, Foreign Affairs "Comprehensive...well informed...thoughtful, well written, and absorbing." Bruce Cumings, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists "A fascinating historical tour d'horizon." Lawrence S. Kaplan, Journal of Military History
