I wouldn't want to see war and revenge tied together--both of them are quite broad categories to begin with. War could encompass every conflict in history, every story of soldiers and spies and families at home, both fictional and historical. Plus there are science fiction and alternative history accounts. And that's without engaging in any "lateral thinking," which, I suppose, could bring in stories of gang wars, drug wars, even divorce wars, etc.
