The Magma of War

In this book, Edgar Illas departs from military and sociological analyses to propose a theoretical exploration of war as the ontological force that produces political orders. Divided into two parts, Illas' study includes important thinkers on war and theories on conflictive relations between capital, state power and political movements.
