Are we at war? What do we want? And do we want to win? -- The way we think about war (particularly limited war) is broken: here is how we fix it -- The political objective: why nations fight (limited) wars -- Constraints: or why wars for limited aims are so difficult -- Strategy: how to think about fighting for a limited political objective -- And you thought the war was hard: ending the war and securing the peace -- Conclusion: is history rhyming?
Summary
"How can you achieve victory in war if you don't have a clear idea of your political objectives and a vision of what victory means? In this provocative challenge to US policy and strategy, Donald Stoker argues that America endures endless wars because its leaders no longer know how to think about war, particularly limited wars. He reveals how ideas on limited war and war in general evolved against the backdrop of American conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. These ideas, he shows, were flawed
