War in History

Freund’s most comprehensive work on the nature of war is found in his late essay Warfare in the Modern World.9 The essay is an ambitious attempt to tackle the transformation of warfare from the early modern period until the latter part of the twentieth century. Despite its relative brevity, the essay is one of Freund’s most synthetic efforts: it draws from historic and contemporary sources, and employs Freund’s key concepts, including the conceptual distinction between war-making and politics. The essay opens with a methodological introduction, in which Freund lays out a seven-point operational definition of war, which arises directly from his previous meditations on the topic (1996, pp. 3–9):1.Societies are either in a state of war or peace, without any room for a third state, save in the form of transition, an intermediate state between a war not yet acknowledged as such and an uncertain peace.
