The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Conflicts

-- Nothing else like it in the market today! There are plenty of in-depth scholarly works on specific conflicts. There are even a few books that cover the history and theory of particular types of conflicts, but nothing that even comes close to the scope of this book.

-- This book will appeal to those who, in the wake of 9-11, are a little more conscious of the world around them and want to learn why there is so much hate in the world, and why much of it seems to be directed at the United States.

-- The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to World Conflicts offers an objective, comprehensive, and easy-to-read reference to the 50 most significant conflicts around the world.

For many Americans in the aftermath of September 11th there seems to be heightened awareness of religious, ethnic, and political unrest around the world, and particularly in those conflicts that have had and will continue to have some impact on American society. Considering that the United States is the sole superpower and often the world's policeman, those conflicts are many. Of the books on the market that attempt to analyze various conflicts around the world, almost all of them have a professorial, academic take on the issues and are limited to those conflicts in a given region or that share a common relationship.
