"David Armitage’s recent book, Civil Wars: A History in Ideas, traces some of the major questions that have accompanied civil wars throughout history. His scrutiny of civil wars delves into their origin and development; the problems involved in defining them; the different treatment given them by historians and social scientists; and the extraordinary scarcity of comparative studies.
