Contributors to this book contend that agency and culture, inherited values and dispositions (such as religion and other cultural practices), beliefs, and institutions are always woven into the conduct of war.

Contributions focus on cultural aspects of warfare in Mesoamerica, South America, North America, and Southeast Asia.
