The Illusion of Victory demonstrates that most of the rewards of
victory in modern warfare are either exaggerated or false. When the
ostensible benefits of victory are examined a generation after a
war, it becomes inescapably evident that the defeated belligerent
rarely conforms to the demands and expectations of the victor.
Consequently, long-term political and military stability is denied
to both the victorious power and to the defeated one. As a result,
neither victory nor defeat deter further outbreaks of war. This
sobering reality is increasingly the case in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. Ian Bickerton persuasively argues that as
the rhetoric of victory becomes more hollow all countries must
adopt creative new approaches to resolving disputes.
