I'm looking for a book about the real reasons for various wars. [View all]


I don't know if such a book exists, but it should.

I've been reading about WWI, and one reason mentioned for the US getting involved
in it is that the US had loaned a lot of money to the UK and France and if they lost the
war, the US would never get the money back. To me that has the ring of truth to it.

Every war I've ever heard of, there is an official reason for going to war (WMD, for instance)
and a REAL reason. The real reasons don't sound as noble as the official reason.

So...can anyone direct me to a book about this?
