How does war begin? And what are the rules surrounding its onset and conduct? These are questions we may never have contemplated until now.
From Mesopotamia 4000 years ago, to the present war in Ukraine, political scientist Catherine Frost will take a sweeping look at how wars have started, how declarations have been used and abused, the concept of a “just war,” and wars that have no beginning or end. A fascinating history lesson that gives context to the wars and conflicts in the world today.
