A very substantial achievement that will surely have a strong impact on the public's perception of war.

Best wishes,

Prophets occasionally live long enough to be recognized for their
insights. You are obviously one of the few.

TOM HAYDEN – Author, Political Leader, and Anti-War Activist

Through endless, some would say obsessive, interviews with primary sources
everywhere, Jonathan Kolkey is providing us with much-needed evidence about
the causes and politics of war-making. Far from its claims to glory, Kolkey
finds more banal bureaucratic and self-serving factors at work.

DAVID GORDON – Senior Fellow at Ludwig Von Mises Institute

Jonathan Kolkey's  project on war promises to be of great value for libertarians.
In viewing war as largely motivated by personal political ambition, Kolkey lends
support to the libertarian view of the predatory state.

HOWARD ZINN – Professor at Boston University

I certainly agree with your basic idea about war and the motivations that bring it about..

Good luck with your noble effort. Whatever their motives, most of
these wars were unnecessary disasters.

All best,

Robert Dallek

PER BYLAND -- Founder of "Anarchism.net"


There is no doubt your research has the potential to do an enormous
amount of good by pointing out the truth: people are being (and always
have been) injured, tortured, killed, butchered, slaughtered to serve
the personal interests of their master(s). If your research changes the
mindset of people in academia or elsewhere about Power, it would mean nothing less
than a social revolution; if you only achieve a change in people's
views of why wars are fought, but without affecting people's views of their masters,
you would at least potentially save thousands of lives when states do
not go to war as often. In either case, your research would be a clear
success! So in that sense I support you whole-heartedly.

RUSSEll JACOBY -- Professor of History at University of California, Los Angeles and

Author of The Last Intellectuals: American Culture in the Age of Academe


In his long effort to isolate the cause of war throughout history, Jonathan Kolkey deserves to be saluted. In working without institutional support to bring his findings to the public, he might be called one of "the last intellectuals."
