As a 24 yr military officer from a service academy I would like to complement the instructor......He is doing a great job, especially given no military service and direct experience in battle. I complement him.

Well worth your time in hearing first hand from combat veterans. " War What is it Good For?" an excellent book that is thought provoking, it covers a lot of the material that is discussed throughout the course.

One of the best introductory courses. For a thoroughly understanding of the subject matter, you do need to read the additional texts (I would even recommend not only the given chapters, but the whole books).

It very interesting MOOC and quite unique of it's kind. It's good MOOC for everyone who want to get deep vision of history, it highlight and studies wars in a unique and very interesting way.

Very interesting topic and well-presented, too. Covers virtually every historic period in which there's been warfare (which, I guess, is every historic period in which there's been people).

One of the best academic experiences I had.

As a soldier I would recomend it to my fellow soldiers and to my civillian friends so they could understand a little better the paradoxes of war.

Great course! This course has provided some great information and proposed some important philosophical questions. I wish there were exams and a certificate to go along with it too.

Lovely course. Wonderful understanding of the Professor about War and its related implications. Thank you Professor. For the first time I fully understood the horror of holocaust.

This is a really interesting and unique class! The professor is extremely knowledgeable about his field, and does an amazing job at explaining the sociology behind war.

Fantastic course on a global subject which lay in the core of the human experience. A must have course for any history lovers and geopolitical enthusiatists.

Highly informtative, relevant and has been useful in cross study with other modern state of war studies, such as Terrorism and Counter Terrorism studies.

Well done and well organized. Instructor is an excellent teacher--it feels like you are watching an episode of National Geographic on sociology of war!!

This course has been an eye opening one, clearly giving poignant insights into the life of a soldier, the nature of war and the role of societies in it!

Great lectures and great reading recommendations, i have ordered a couple of books from the bibliography and was not dissappointed.

The course was so helpful. I had the opportunity to develop myself in interesting for me area. Definitely recommend the training.

It's a extended introductory course. Very useful to first understanding about war, history and sociologycal issues related.

Incedible structure and professor, an absolute must for everyone to understand war as an expression of humman being

great course! the only thing I could advice to change is to make the course a bit shorter, a more compact

This is one of my favorite courses I've taken. Its very interesting and I really enjoy the lectures.

Just brilliant. After this course you'll get a comprehensive idea of war, and of the society itself.

Bring you into a world of art of war with much better interpretation than Sun Tzu and Machiavelli.

Very interesting topics about war and human history are analyzed in this course. Very recommended.

This is an amazing and interesting course. I am really enjoying it, the explanations are clear.

This course is supling different perspective for people who are interesting war sociology.

A well structured programme that adds a more informed perspective to current events.
