GIVE WAR A CHANCE? The Utility of War
The Prussian military historian Carl von Clausewitz famously observed that "war is merely a continuation of politics by other means." These "other" (violent) means have been used on countless occasions throughout human history to settle conflicts over land, resources, and political rule.

What lessons can we learn from studying the greatest wartime leaders, such as Lincoln, Churchill, and FDR?
