How Wars End argues that two central factors shape war-termination decision making: information about the balance of power and the resolve of one's enemy, and fears that the other side's commitment to abide by a war-ending peace settlement may not be credible.Dan Reiter explains how information about combat outcomes and other factors may persuade a warring nation to demand more or less in peace negotiations, and why a country might refuse to negotiate limited terms and instead tenaciously pursue absolute victory if it fears that its enemy might renege on a peace deal. He fully lays out the theory and then tests it on more than twenty cases of war-termination behavior, including decisions during the American Civil War, the two world wars, and the Korean War. Reiter helps solve some of the most enduring puzzles in military history, such as why Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, why Germany in 1918 renewed its attack in the West after securing peace with Russia in the East, and why Britain refused to seek peace terms with Germany after France fell in 1940.How Wars End concludes with a timely discussion of twentieth-century American foreign policy, framing the Bush Doctrine's emphasis on preventive war in the context of the theory."--GoogleBooks. 000351714 650_0 $$aPeace$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000351714 650_0 $$aPeace$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000351714 650_0 $$aWar$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000351714 650_0 $$aWar$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000351714 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000351714 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aReiter, Dan, 1967-$$tHow wars end.$$dPrinceton : Princeton University Press, 2009$$z9780691140605$$w(DLC) 2009008556$$w(OCoLC)311310314 000351714 8520_ $$bacq 000351714 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000351714 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=475869$$zOnline Access 000351714 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351714$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351714 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351714 980__ $$aBIB 000351714 982__ $$aEbook 000351714 983__ $$aOnline
