<p> In reading the augmented edition of The Idea of War and Peace , I am struck by both the continuiities and discontinuities in your political and broad intellectual perspective. The shifts in political judgment are clear enough to the discerning reader. But the continuities (e.g. deep erudition and humane judgment, the judicious bringing together of philosophical reflection and sociological analysis, openness to the full range of thought across the methodical and political spectrums) seem even more fundamental to me. I was also happy to see several of your best recent pieces incorporated into this beautifully produced and carefully augmented edition of the book. This is a truly magisterial reflection on the great issues of peace and war in the modern age. <p> --Daniel J. Mahoney, Assumption College
