{"product_id":"2940148888451","title":"War Termination: The Proceedings of the War Termination Conference United States Military Academy West Point","description":"This conference investigates war termination, one of the most important issues facing\u003cbr\u003emilitary and political leaders as they use or contemplate the use of use of military force in the\u003cbr\u003epursuit of national aims. Prompted by the Unified Quest Training and Leader Development\u003cbr\u003etheme and discussions about the use of history in training and leader development, the US\u003cbr\u003eArmy Training and Doctrine Command and the United States Military Academy partnered\u003cbr\u003eon this war termination project and invited renowned military historians to provide their\u003cbr\u003eviews on the subject. The study began with several seminars following Unified Quest\u003cbr\u003ein May of 2009. Each contributor provided a brief essay and presented their views on\u003cbr\u003ethe topic at a War Termination Conference at West Point in June of 2010. These scholars\u003cbr\u003erepresented a broad range of the American experience from the Revolutionary War to the\u003cbr\u003efirst Gulf War. The assembled essays and interviews reflect the thoughts of these historians\u003cbr\u003eabout America’s wars, their concluding battles or final campaigns, and ultimately how they\u003cbr\u003eended. While they provide no answers and no formula for successful war termination,\u003cbr\u003ethey do provide thoughtful reflections from years of study and they suggest important\u003cbr\u003eimplications for civilian and military decisionmakers today.\u003cbr\u003eAmong the discoveries of this project is that war termination is a curiously neglected\u003cbr\u003etopic. Little has been written about the subject that is of practical use in educating military\u003cbr\u003eleaders. This project represents an important first step to raise awareness and enrich the\u003cbr\u003eArmy’s leader development as well as education and training. This volume is intended\u003cbr\u003eto support instructors and students in academic courses, seminars, and individual study\u003cbr\u003efocused on the topic of war termination in the hope of answering these important questions:\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the American experience? How has America ended its wars? What can we learn\u003cbr\u003efrom that experience?","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162509754608,"sku":"2940148888451","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148888451_p0.jpg?v=1763715396","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148888451","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
