Decisions about when, where, and why to commit the United States to
the use of force, and how to conduct warfare and ultimately end it,
are hotly debated not only contemporaneously but also for decades
afterward. We are engaged in such a debate today, quite often
without a solid grounding in the country's experience of war, both
political and military. This book, by a political scientist and a
career military officer and historian, is premised on the view that
we cannot afford that kind of innocence. Updated and revised with
new chapters on the Afghan and Iraq wars, the book systematically
examines twelve U.S. wars from the revolution to the present day.
For each conflict the authors review underlying issues and events;
political objectives; military objectives and strategy; political
considerations; military technology and technique; military
conduct, and 'the better state of the peace', that is, the ultimate
disposition of the original political goals.
