	Books: Historian’s troubling look at peace
		REVIEWED By ROBERT F. Michael Howard’s book, which received flattering reviews in England, may give heartburn to those who have struggled for years with the efforts of religious believers to establish criteria for a just war.
		The author, a military and naval historian at Oxford University, notes that the overwhelming majority of human societies have taken war for granted; war is the basis for their social and legal structures.
		Howard’s thoughtful book makes it clear how difficult it will be to persuade the world that a just war, as Pope John XXIII made clear, can hardly exist in the modern world.

	PBS: Think Tank: Transcript for "A Conversation with Michael Howard"
		SIR MICHAEL: Certainly war between states armed with nuclear weapons is less likely because neither side sees any political advantage to be gained from a conflict in which they are likely to suffer at least as much as their adversary.
		SIR MICHAEL: Well, the image which is projected of the United States by your media is not one which is universally welcome, acceptable or admirable.
		SIR MICHAEL: That again is, if I may say so, a certain conventional wisdom, but one only has to go to somewhere like Singapore to see a country which is very prosperous and very happy and booming economically, but does not believe in American political standards and does very well without them.

	The Other War that Never Ends: A Survey of Some Recent Literature on World War I - Mises Institute
		In the foreword to his book, Howard writes that "it was the ruling circles in Imperial Germany who were ultimately responsible, both for the outbreak and for the continuance of the war," and regrets that he will not have space to argue this thesis.
		Tooley is in a better position to explain this than other historians, since he is intimately familiar with the ideas and literature of free-market liberalism. It is a pleasure, for example, to see Murray Rothbard cited on the wartime inflation and its role in initiating the cycle that ended with the crash of 1929.
		Not for him the fatuousness of Sir Michael Howard, who argues that the new countries created after the war did, after all, manage to survive in some form until the end of the century.

		Michael Howard does this with incredible skill, because of the limiting length every sentence is a pure nugget of insight he makes no waste of the space provided.
		In particular, Howard examines the dilemma of modern democracies engaged in a popular war with increasingly devestating consequences, and the difficulty politicians encounter in seeking peace without "betraying" the fallen.
		Howard deftly summarizes the current theories on why the war happened, captures the horror of trench warfare and of mass assaults on fortified positions, and effectively illuminates why the war has influenced all subsequent events.

		In The Occult Conspiracy, English historian Michael Howard explains the cooperation of occultist secret societies like the Templars, Masons, Rosicrucians and Illuminati, whose long, ongoing struggle is to return the West to a pre-Christian paganism.
		As Michael Howard puts it, "From 1785 to 1789 several of the Masonic lodges in France were working full time to undermine the monarchy and the established government."55
		Historians suggest that the reason behind the cover-up is that both the murderer and the police chief were Masons.

		Academic historians also employed the narrative technique to provide a solid framework for their stories and for good reading, such as Douglas Edward Leach, Samuel E. Morison’s multi-volume narrative on the US Navy in World War II, and James I. Robertson’s Civil War books.
		But, he added, military historians nevertheless displayed “a strange feeling of dissatisfaction” — which I guess goes to show that this may be a congenital condition among military historians which, since it so far lacks a clinical name, I propose to call Bruscino’s Complaint.
		The military historian has generally been a kind of misfit, regarded with suspicion by both his professional colleagues and by the military men whose activities he seeks to portray.

		For this "war" can be interpreted in one of two broad senses of the word: either this is a war in the conventional sense, ie, an armed conflict between states; or it could be translated to mean "the struggle or fight against", as in the phrase "the war on drugs" or "the war against HIV/AIDS".
		At the moment it is not clear if this is the war on terrorism or The War on Terrorism, but one has the suspicion that the White House's rhetoric tilts toward the latter.
		Sir Michael Howard is perhaps right to be worried.
