Translated from the French by E. W. Dickes and O. S. Griffiths, the book argues that the two World Wars fundamentally reshaped the nature of conflict, politics, and civilisation itself. Aron chronicles the rise of total war — a form of industrial-scale, ideologically driven combat that mobilises entire societies — and details how this phenomenon irrevocably altered the balance of global power. Written with the intellectual rigour and cool analytical authority for which Aron was celebrated, the work remains a foundational text for anyone seeking to understand twentieth-century history, geopolitics, and the philosophy of war and peace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956323397851,"sku":"2026200008220-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb59172d-96dc-41d8-9224-5fe52d6e7620.png?v=1783499666","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008220-secondhand-the-century-of-total-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
