"How Wars End" by Gideon Rose

DateTuesday, May 24, 2011 at 7:39PM

Currently clipping through How Wars End by Gideon Rose. The book is a twist on the old cliché about generals fighting the last war, this points out that diplomats negotiate the end of the last war. Rose reviews all of the wars that the U.S. fought in the 100 years—from WW I through Iraq II—and points out that the received lessons of the previous war affected the "end games" and negotiated settlements of the next one.

I'm up to the chapter on Korea. I'll post a review when I'm done.
