"This book comprehensively analyzes territorial conquest since 1945: theories, trends, causes, propensity to lead to war, and the determinants of whether conquest attempts succeed or fail. It challenges the consensus of past studies that conquest sharply declined after 1945 and virtually subsided by 1976 because of a strong territorial integrity norm that emerged after World War II."-- Provided by publisher.
