` Neighbours...hah. People`d live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work, & then some trivial thing would happen & someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear.` & when the neighbours in question are the proud empires of Klatch & Ankh-Morpork, those are going to be some pretty large garden tools indeed. Of course, no-one would dream of starting a war without a perfectly good reason.such as a `strategic` piece of old rock in the middle of nowhere. It is after all every citizen`s right to bear arms to defend what they consider to be their own. Even if it isn`t. & even if they don`t have much in the way of actual weaponry. As two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him...and that`s just the people on his side. The enemy might be even worse. Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen, squid & at least one very camp follower.
