Making Sense of War
War After Ukraine draws to a finale the three book series on making Sense of War from Christopher K Pike in which he details the How, Why, Where, When and What of War in order to try and further understand the continuum that is war; an apparently senseless and bloody undertaking that has occurred since history has been recorded but is something that goes back further than that; to the very beginning of mankind.
Written as a series Pike conceptualises the political aspect of war along with the additional facets that are necessary to consider one country taking up arms against another and the reasons for this undertaking, or War to commence.
War After Ukraine was in draft form when Russia made the decision to invade Ukraine to gain back what it considered its lawful territory, that of Ukraine to create once again what is nostalgically referred to as the old Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, it is proving to be one of the most cataclysmic decisions undertaken since the cessation of World War II and one which is going to have far reaching effects, many of which are still unknown with the collapse of the Russian Federation within the next ten years, considered as high on the list of probable repercussions.
In 2025 this tragedy is still unfolding but analytically it is proving to be all or everything that Pike discusses in this series: politics, ego, wealth, history, power and man’s violent nature!
Over centuries many have tried to understand War with little success, have spent many hours in analysis, and have all come to the same or similar conclusion, that war is an intricate segment of man which before Napolean, was considered as a normal process of life and which eventually results in the resolution of differences between Countries or Nation States.
Over five specific segments’, some of which reiterate points from the earlier books, About War and War In Context Pike once again ponders with well researched fact the illusive answer to what really causes War!
Suitable for anyone who has an interest in War, is a scholar or simply enjoys reading a fascinating and well-constructed history of one aspect of man’s journey on this earth, War After Ukraine and the previous books are well worth the time required to dig deep into what is essentially the psychology of man down through the Centuries.
To end on a quote to ponder from Trotsky (1879-1940) …’you may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you’.
