Conclusion

In conclusion, Tripathi recaps the flow of events discussed in the previous chapters, which analyze periods of war and peace, progress and regression, hope and despair. He examines different phases of war, how wars ended with relief that the worst was over, and raised hopes for a better future. But often, the unexpected intervened and disillusionment followed. Tripathi concludes with his closing remark that this pattern of history is too important not to be aware of and too perilous to ignore.
