Summary
Since the end of World War II, over fifty countries around the world have been racked with violence of epidemic proportions: civil wars, armed foreign interventions, terrorist actions, and ethnic conflict. Organized by country, this book offers key statistical data, discusses the historical origins of the tensions, characterizes the parties involved, and examines possible outcomes.--From publisher description.
