Abstract
It is often said that the history of wars and other conflicts is written by the winning side. (This may not be always true, but it is certainly true of World War II.) What is almost never identified as a problem, however, is something else: that the history of wars is written from the perspective of the major powers participating in the conflict – the Great Powers, to use a somewhat antiquated term.
This was the Annual Constantine Karamanlis Lecture at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy on 22 October 2009.
