The road from war to peace is a puzzling and uncertain one. To
those who fight and die on it, it is seldom clear where the journey
will end-- and those responsible for finding the path are rarely
more perceptive. Of the few signposts that exist, perhaps the most
visible is the cease-fire. No war ends without one. "Stopping Wars"
is the first attempt to catalog the reasons why some wars are so
difficult to stop-- even when both sides want the fighting to end.
James Smith examines the problems encountered by protagonists as
well as third parties attempting to achieve a cease-fire. Each
chapter is devoted to a specific obstacle that Smith analyzes and
then illustrates via in-depth case studies, drawing on such
conflicts as the Iran/Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the Yugoslav
wars, Smith assesses the role of third parties in trying to
persuade people to stop fighting and examines what happens when
obstacles to a cease-fire cannot be overcome.
