"""Bakich addresses an important puzzle-the sources of mixed strategic success in US experience with limited wars since World War II-by advancing a novel argument concerning the role of 'information institutions.' Success and Failure in Limited War provides a very useful framework that both complements the mountain of historical and decision-making literature on the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, as well as integrates emerging insights from many insiders regarding contemporary decision-making in the two Iraq wars."" (Adam N. Stulberg, Georgia Institute of Technology)"""

Bakich addresses an important puzzle--the sources of mixed strategic success in US experience with limited wars since World War II--by advancing a novel argument concerning the role of 'information institutions.' Success and Failure in Limited War provides a very useful framework that both complements the mountain of historical and decision-making literature on the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, as well as integrates emerging insights from many insiders regarding contemporary decision-making in the two Iraq wars. The real payoff: Bakich compensates for gaps in the dominant realist, domestic politics, and constructivist arguments. --Adam N. Stulberg Georgia Institute of Technology
