In 'Civil Wars: A History in Ideas', David Armitage explores the evolution and diverse interpretations of civil conflicts throughout history. From ancient Rome to contemporary conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Libya, the author analyzes how ideas about civil war have influenced politics and society. Through the analysis of key thinkers such as Hobbes, Locke, and Clausewitz, Armitage offers a genealogy of the misconceptions about civil war and how these have shaped political decisions over time. This book invites reflection on this form of violence and its impact on the future.
David Armitage is a British historian who has written on international and intellectual history. He has been chair of the history department and is Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History at Harvard University.
