The wars not only play havoc with the no rd and fauna of a place but also cause disturbances in the natural and smooth environmental system. Global warming, landslides, receding avalanches ·and sinking water table arc some of the consequences of imposed wars on humanity by humans, themselves.

Besides, it should make an interesting reading, comprehensive, exhaustive in nature, and informative in its approach. No doubt, it should prove to be a great asset for any scholar or book lover.
