271 pages. Although based on fact, and the reminiscenses of the author, the characters in this book are fictional. "It all began in 1936 when I joined the famous band of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) in Winnipeg.... As the band drove into liberated Hilversum, we were overrun by tearful and cheerful Dutch because we had liberated them. Others would follow but we were the first.

Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. gering berieben. - ... (wir dürfen) bei Strafe des Untergangs angesichts der angehäuften und täglich wachsenden Vernichtungspotentiale nicht aufhören, nach dem komplexen Geflecht von Kriegsgründen zu fragen und nach Verhaltensweisen, die allmählich zu seiner Auflösung führen oder es zumindest schwächer werden lassen. Der vorliegende Band ist nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein Schritt in diese Richtung. Die Autoren setzen auf sehr unterschiedlichen Analyseebenen an. Neben vergleichenden Untersuchungen über Jahrhunderte hinweg stehen exemplarische Analysen einzelner historischer Fälle und aktueller Konfliktfelder. Zum einen geht es um die Frage nach Gesetzmäßigkeiten quasi hinter den an der Oberfläche zutage tretenden Ursachen, Anlässen, Motiven und Bedingungen oder auch um die Prüfung landläufiger generalisierender Annahmen; zum anderen um Mechanismen, die erst in den letzten Phasen der jeweiligen Vorkriegszeit wirksam werden, also um »Ursachen« in ganz anderem Sinne.
