Description

Explore the complex relationship between military action and political policy in The Pursuit Of Victory: From Napoleon to Saddam Hussein. Published by Oxford University Press, this original study by Professor Brian Bond examines why leaders initiate conflict and what defines true success on the battlefield and beyond. While the concept of war as an instrument of policy has become unfashionable in Western Europe and North America, wars continue to be fought globally. Professor Bond analyzes the successes and failures of military and political leaders over the last two centuries, arguing that true victory requires progress beyond mere military triumph. This historical study provides deep insights into the motivations and outcomes of major conflicts from the Napoleonic era to modern times.
