"Soldiers, Statesmen, and Cold War Crisis" explores, in
fascinating depth, the nature, direction, and impact of military
and civilian influence on violence. Richard K. Betts discusses the
post-war involvement of U.S. military and nonmilitary leaders in
decisions on the use of force in foreign affairs, and the variety
of advice from the different military services. Twenty intervention
decisions and ten escalation desicions in crises are examined,
including Korea, Berlin, Cuba, and Vietnam. To update this edition
Betts has written a preface analyzing the significance of the
issues in light of the evolution of events and information
declassified since the book's original publication. He has also
written an epilogue discussing several recent cases.
