Common and destructive, limited wars are significant international
events that pose a number of challenges to the states involved
beyond simple victory or defeat. Chief among these challenges is
the risk of escalation - be it in the scale, scope, cost, or
duration of the conflict. In this book, Spencer D. Bakich
investigates a crucial and heretofore ignored factor in determining
the nature and direction of limited war: information institutions.
Traditional assessments of wartime strategy focus on the
relationship between the military and civilians, but Bakich argues
that we must also take into account the information flow patterns
among top policy makers and all national security organizations. By
examining the fate of American military and diplomatic strategy in
four limited wars, Bakich demonstrates how not only the
availability and quality of information, but also the ways in which
information is gathered, managed, analyzed, and used, shape a
state's ability to wield power effectively in dynamic and complex
international systems. Utilizing a range of primary and secondary
source materials, Success and Failure in Limited War makes a timely
case for the power of information in war, with crucial implications
for international relations theory and statecraft.
