In today’s world, war is taboo. However, in history war is rampant, and every generation encounters it in some way. But what is war? What causes war? What is revolution? What ideas can contribute to its nature?

In War, Politics, and Progressivism, Poarch explores a number of necessary topics for today. The first five chapters evaluate war, political society, and history, looking at the nature of democracy, dialectic, and revolutions. The last five chapters move toward the roots of progressivism, separation of powers, and mixed Marxism. Machiavelli and The Prince is evaluated as well.

This book represents a call to face important topics in the Western Tradition. It is cast as a hope for this generation to remember human nature and be ready for what history has faced.
