A Study of War. This book is on history, the nature, the causes, control, and the cure of war. War is thus a type of violence. The word "violence", however , includes also activities which are not war, such as assassination and robbery, riot and lynching, police action and execution, reprisals and interventions. War is thus at the same time an exceptional legal condition, a phenomenon of intergroup social psychology, a species of conflict, and a species of violence. While each of these aspects of war suggests an approach to its study, war must not be identified with any one of them.
