"Mission accomplished," George Bush famously proclaimed in
reference to the defeat of Saddam Hussein's military organization.
However, as recent events in Iraq have once again demonstrated, it
is much easier to start a war than it is to end it.
"Every War Must End," which Colin Powell credits in his
autobiography with having shaped his thinking on how to end the
first Gulf War, analyzes the many critical obstacles to ending a
war& mdash;an aspect of military strategy that is frequently
and tragically overlooked. This book explores the difficult and
often painful process through which wars in the modern age have
been brought to a close and what this process means for the future.
IklA(c) considers a variety of examples from twentieth-century
history and examines specific strategies that effectively "won the
peace," including the Allied policy in Germany and Japan after
World War II.
In the new preface to his classic work, IklA(c) explains how
U.S. political decisions and military strategy and tactics in Iraq
-- the emphasis on punishing Iraqi leaders, not seeking a formal
surrender, and the failure to maintain law and order-have delayed,
and indeed jeopardized, a successful end to hostilities.
