Political Victory The Elusive Prize Of Military Wars

Success in war has always been difficult to measure. What is judged successful by military leaders may not be judged so by political leadership, nor by the wider public, at least in a Western-style democracy. The public is generally inclined to applaud military victory, but it instinctively reserves the right to ask afterwards: Was it really worth it? In Political Victory, Croier looks at modern wars involving democracies to evaluate victory and defeat by the success or failure of political outcomes.Crozier, Brian is the author of 'Political Victory The Elusive Prize Of Military Wars', published 2005 under ISBN 9780765802903 and ISBN 0765802902.
