The Meaning of Military Victory
By
Robert Mandel
\"Robert Mandel brings order to one of the puzzles of the international security environment after World War II: why aren’t the powerful states able to win the wars in which they find themselves?... For anyone interested in the meaning of victory in war, this book is a must read.\"—Allan C. Stam, Dartmouth College \"The Meaning of Military Victory addresses a crucial, and understudied topic, in an expert and comprehensive way.... It is directly relevant to both the ongoing war in Iraq and the war on terror.\"—Dominic Johnson, Princeton University How has the concept of victory evolved as the nature of conflict itself has changed across time, circumstance, and culture? And to what end? Robert Mandel addresses these questions, considering the meanings, misperceptions, and challenges associated with military victory in the context of the nontraditional wars of recent decades.
