Abstract
Most of Bette Denich's As War Has Evolved, Can Also Peace? (1987) consists of the meticulous and thought-provoking analysis of Montenegrin ethnography her readers have come to expect (Denich 1974, 1976). She begins, however, with a couple of paragraphs that combine in a narrow space a number of factual errors, dated theoretical constructs and pure mythopoesis, culminating in the rhetorical questions given in the epigraph above. This bad start does not vitiate her own analysis, since she ignores the questions thereafter. It does, however, represent intellectual luggage that burdens many studies of peace and war and therefore merits a brief critique.
