A central purpose of this monograph is to reexamine two earlier
conflicts for insights that may be relevant for ongoing dangers
during limited wars involving nations possessing chemical or
biological weapons or emerging nuclear arsenals. These conflicts
are the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the 1991 Gulf War. Both of these
wars were fought at the conventional level, although the prospect
of Israel using nuclear weapons (1973), Egypt using biological
weapons (1973), or Iraq using chemical and biological weapons
(1991) were of serious concern at various points during the
fighting. This monograph will consider why efforts at escalation
control and intrawar deterrence were successful in the two case
studies and assess the points at which these efforts were under the
most intensive stress that might have caused them to fail.
