The Sage encyclopedia of war [electronic resource] : social science perspectives / editor, Paul Joseph, Tufts University.

"A long list of reference works ... [views] war through the traditional lens of history and military science, emphasizing the big events, places, and people in wars across the ages. We propose, instead, to view war through a different lens--that of the social sciences. We wish to illuminate the causes, processes, and effects of war with a cross-disciplinary work drawing from communication and mass media, economics, political science and law, psychology, and sociology."--Provided by publisher.
