'War makes rattling good history,' as Thomas Hardy once wrote; and
this book undoubtedly proves his point. World Conflicts is
essentially a reference book on war, however, it is one of
narrative and not a mere compilation of facts...a highly readable
and above all useful work. It can be dipped into at any point for
an overall, big picture of each situation and its history.
*London Financial Times*
...this is a very good reference work for any student of the
twentieth-century world...Brogan's organization is straightforward
and logical. The author's thoughtful essays on modern terrorism and
drug wars are noteworthy...Brogan's work is a valuable reference
tool. Brogan's wide-ranging and thorough look at the world's
instability is a wonderful point of departure for anyone seeking
either to begin research on any of these areas, or for anyone who
wishes to gain a brief understanding of what has gone on to make so
many places in the world so dangerous.
