520 $a"In a tradition that dates back to the time of Thucydides, and the Peloponnesian War, the systematic examination of conflict and war has long been a preoccupation of political scientists seeking to resolve the enduring question: Why do wars occur? This study directly engages with this question with a specific focus on explaining why the conflict between Iran and Iraq escalated to war in 1980. This conflict led to arguably the longest and one of the more costly conventional wars of the twentieth century"--Prelimimary page.
