Problems of Contemporary Militarism [PDF ebook] 

This book, first published in 1980, presents a comprehensive and detailed look at the problem of international militarisation. It examines the key issues, the meaning of the problem, the international context and the spread of militarism to the Third World, its fast growth and dangerous implications — including to the development of often poorer countries.
