Robert Higgs on "War and Leviathan"
For a little light reading (ok, not so light), I recommend to you this intense piece by Robert Higgs in which he accurately describes government as essentially organized theft, and then discusses how governments use war to increase their control over the citizenry.
See "War and Leviathan: The Trick that Works Every Time"
