Thinking Beyond War: Civil-Military Relations and Why America Fails to Win the Peace - Hardcover

by I. Wilson (Author)

This book argues that a major reason for America's propensity to 'lose the peace' is the way the nation defines war and how the U.S. military is currently organized for warfare. The author offers new propositions and operational approaches to war-planning that give new hope and practical solutions to overcoming the paradox of American Way of War.
