There is a consensus, captured by proponents of militarism theory,
that militaries seek wars to enhance their institutional influence,
and that they promote expansionist policies because it is in line
with their training. However, most military-run states, and those
regimes influenced by their militaries, termed militarized regimes,
spend much of their time at peace. This book questions the
underlying logic of the militarist explanation and seeks to propose
a more tragic argument based on the distorting impact of military
indoctrination and command practices on civil government
institutions. The theory is applied to seven case studies of the
periods leading up to the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistan Wars, the
1956, 1967, and 1973 Arab Israeli Wars, the 1969-75 Iran-Iraq
border conflict, and the 1979 Iraqi invasion of Iran.
