Ride of the Second Horseman - The Birth and Death of War (Paperback)


The Ride of the Second Horseman is an ambitious examination of the origins, progress, and fate of war. In an accessible historical overview (5500 BC to the present), O'Connell lucidly depicts how specific cultural and economic conditions impact and alter warfare. Recent history leads O'Connell to conclude that, despite the violence in the world today, war is anachronistic and warfare may now be near its end.
