This is the first book to apply the Clausewitzian Trinity of
'passion, chance, and reason' to the experience of real war. It
explores the depth and validity of the concept against the
conflicts of former Yugoslavia - wars thought to epitomise a
post-Clausewitzian age. In doing so it demonstrates the timeless
message of the Trinity, but also ties the Trinitarian idea back
into Clausewitz's political argument. Intended to build on the
existing corpus of scholarship, this book differs from the existing
literature in two ways. By applying the Trinity to the wars of
former Yugoslavia 1991-1995, it explores war at its
micro-foundations, assessing the complex cause-and-effect nexus of
reciprocity produced by actions between belligerents embroiled in
dynamic competition perpetuated by their own interaction. Providing
valuable insights into the complexities of real war fuelled by
passion, undermined by chance, and shaped by reason, it is the
first study to bridge the Clausewitzian world of theory with real
experience. Examining each part of the triad separately, the book
explores the multiple manifestations of hostility and chance,
before then assessing the influence of these elements on the
policies of the belligerents as the war evolved.
