Summary, etc. | Argues that "casualty aversion...has begun in recent decades to play an inappropriately large and sometimes misguided role in international confrontations" (from author's preface). Discusses the concept of bloodless war and ponders whether such a concept is either feasible or desirable. Looks at the effects of precision guided munitions, information warfare, and non-lethal weapons, and considers the down-sides for America (or indeed any given nation) of pursuing a policy of bloodless war. |
