Contents:

Information institutions and strategy in war -- Explaining strategic performance in limited warfare -- Military and diplomatic defeat in the Korean War -- The Vietnam War, little consolation -- Military and diplomatic success in the Persian Gulf War -- Iraq: win the battle, lose the war -- Information institutions matter!

Summary: 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 take.
