Founded and rooted in Enlightenment values, the United States is
caught between two conflicting imperatives when it comes to war:
achieving perfect security through the annihilation of threats; and
a requirement to conduct itself in a liberal and humane manner. In
order to reconcile these often clashing requirements, the US has
often turned to its scientists and laboratories to find strategies
and weapons that are both decisive and humane. In effect, a modern
faith in science and technology to overcome life's problems has
been utilized to create a distinctly 'American Way of Warfare'.
Carvin and Williams provide a framework to understand the successes
and failures of the US in the wars it has fought since the days of
the early Republic through to the War on Terror. It is the first
book of its kind to combine a study of technology, law and
liberalism in American warfare.
