Not a comment on the book obviously, but just seizing on the five points enumerated in the review, 1 is pure fluff, 2 is not a very strong point, 2 and 3 are both more first-world applicable, 4 is again more first-world centric I'd imagine, and 5 is entirely irrelevant given that most countries still manage to go to war (unjustified) with total impunity, especially the biggest of them all. What is the use of declaring war illegal? The only thing world nations are afraid of is nuclear war, but never-ending conventional war can still retard humanity's progress significantly. It is not something we can just dismiss.
