Includes bibliographical references and index Some early societies even developed an explicit public discourse on war and peace, and embedded peace in an ideological or religious framework.

The book demonstrates that ancient societies, no less than modern ones, suffered from the losses and destructions caused by war, and yearned for peace and prosperity. Nineteen distinguished scholars discuss different aspects of this subject in relation to a large number of early civilisations, from China and India through West Asia (Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Hittites, Israel, Persian, and early Islam) to the Mediterranean (Greece, Rome and early Christianity) and the Americas (the Aztecs and the Iroquois Peace League). This book is the first to focus on war and peace in the ancient world from a global perspective.
