These text examine warfare within the Book of Mormon, emphasizing its political and religious importance to its people. It summarizes various wars, highlighting their causes and results, and analyzes patterns such as conflicts arising from groups separating.

The text contrasts past doctrinal studies on Book of Mormon warfare with the present encyclopedic approach, urging readers to understand it from a Nephite or Lamanite perspective. It compares simile oaths in the Book of Mormon to those in the ancient Near East, including the Hittite Soldiers' Oath.

Furthermore, it explores laws and customs regulating war, such as preliminary negotiations, the duty to take up arms, and the treatment of captives. Finally, the piece investigates the Gadianton robbers through the lens of guerrilla warfare theory, while questioning the common theory connecting them to Freemasonry.
