Rich in historical detail and theoretical insight, Wars of
Revelation explains why the United States' military interventions
have repeatedly transformed its global role - and what that means
for the future of American grand strategy. More than seventy-five
years since the end of World War II, military interventions -
rather than major wars - have emerged as a defining feature of
contemporary geopolitics. Yet, for all the fierce policy debates
over interventions and their lessons, scholars have largely ignored
the systematic linkages between these smaller-scale wars and
transformations in the grand strategies of states that prosecute
them. In Wars of Revelation, Rebecca Lissner explains why military
interventions can be crucibles of grand strategy, testing strategic
axioms on the battlefield and prompting combatant states to
reconceive their global roles. Through detailed historical case
studies of US involvement in the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf
Wars, Lissner shows how each intervention generated searing
insights into the capabilities and intentions of America's
international adversaries - as well as the potential and limits of
its own national power. By focusing on these three "wars of
revelation," Lissner presents a fresh perspective on the origins
and evolutions of US grand strategy, from the dawn of the Cold War
to its twilight. Persuasively argued and historically illuminating,
Wars of Revelation is essential reading for anyone who crafts,
studies, or follows international security policy.
