要是想看对战争的剖析、技术的演进及其对战争的影响，以及战争对社会的影响，我推荐读读 John Keegan 的《A History of Warfare》。它确实探讨了战争作为政治的延伸这一观点，还能引发关于战争究竟如何影响文明生灭的不错思维体操。1. 维基百科介绍：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_Warfare
For an analysis of warfare, progression of technology and its influence on warfare, and war's influence on society, I recommend reading A History of Warfare by John Keegan. It does explore war as an extension of politics and can lead to nice thought exercises about how war does influence the creation and destruction of civilization. 1.
