Wars have accompanied humanity for thousands of years. But how do such violent conflicts arise? How does the experience of violence affect those fighting and the civilian population? How does it influence art and the media? Why are some wars successfully contained, while others repeatedly end in horrific massacres? Alexander Querengässer describes warlike violence as a global phenomenon that goes far beyond our traditional ideas of an event clearly defined by a declaration of war and a peace treaty. At the same time, he makes it clear that war and violence are not the monopoly of the state as the Gaza War and the fight against terrorism and organised crime show.
