520			_aSince 1945 the United States has stopped treating decisive victory as the purpose of war; instead it has allowed for moral reservations and concerns that outright victory may only be creating future problems. With the help of seven case studies this book argues that such ideas (which are described in the introduction as radical) are not necessarily correct. The examples are each dealt with in a chapter, while the conclusion sums up the lessons of victory. The examples range from the wars between Greece and Persia 2,500 years ago to the defeat of Japan at the end of the Second World War.
