The War of the Ring is a pretty boring title. More suited to the historical book that Frodo and Bilbo write. The Lord of the Rings has an air of mystery about it, precisely because it's about someone elusive, that we don't really see anything of in the book. If all books were titled by what happens in them, then we'd have classics like "Ahab Hunts a Whale", or "The Adventures of Jesus". Great.
