Introduction
Fighting to Lose
From: Disarming Conflict
$1.80
The record of warfare over the past quarter century makes it abundantly clear that sheer military force rarely achieves the vital political objectives its commanders set out to gain. Such force rarely prevails when deeply rooted political conflicts become thoroughly militarized. Preventing war, even when conditions are driving toward war, is eminently possible, and while a war avoided does not mean peace is present, it does become the basic foundation on which peace can be progressively pursued and built.
