Scholars frequently portray World War II as an epic morality play driven by a villain (Hitler) and a sinner (Chamberlain). This book offers a fresh approach, combining both the attributes of states and the structure of the international system to explain the origins and causes of World War II. Central to the analysis is the argument that the structure of the international system was tripolar - with Germany, the Soviet Union and the United States as the three central powers - and not multipolar and that this needs to be considered in any examination of the antecedent causes and crucial events of the war. Recognizing that both systems and human agents make history, the author presents an amended balance-of-power theory, a balance-of-interests theory - that distinguishes great powers by their relative material strength and the value they place on the status quo. This systems framework is used to examine and explain the dynamics of tripolar systems; how states respond to threats and opportunities; Hitler's strategy of global dominion; and the foreign policy strategies of the other major powers before and during the war.

By studying chiefdoms this book addresses several fundamental questions concerning the nature of political power and the evolution of sociopolitical complexity. In a chiefdom, the highest status male holds both authority and special access to economic, military, and ideological power, and others derive privilege from their positions in the chiefly hierarchy. Understanding the dynamics of chiefly society, the author asserts, offers an essential view into the historical background of the modern world. Three cases are used to develop the book's arguments - Denmark during the Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages (2300-1300 BC), the high Andes of Peru (AD 500-1534), and Hawaii (AD 800-1824). Rather than deal with each case separately, the author presents and integrates discussion around the different power sources. After summarizing the individual cases and their cultural history over a thousand years, he considers the sources of power accessed by chiefs and how these sources were linked together.
