Conflict in Northern Ireland - An Encyclopedia

If we don''t learn from history, we are condemned to repeat it. Roots of Modern Conflict offers that essential lesson with clear analysis, comprehensive information, and accessible prose. At the dawn of the 21st century, the headlines-from Afghanistan to India-read "war." But, as the series Roots of Modern Conflict makes clear, today''s wars have their origins in centuries past.Why has Afghanistan''s long history as a battleground of great powers and great ideologies led to the U.S. war against al Qaeda? How did British imperialism leave India and Pakistan embittered enough to contemplate nuclear annihilation of each other? An overview essay discussing the history of each conflict helps set the stage and A-Z entries on the key events, places, people, and movements help round out the drama.>
