The few in which high-intensity fighting continues for years bring about a disproportionate amount of death and suffering. What separates these few unusually long and intense wars from the many conflicts that are far less destructive? In Logics of War, Alex Weisiger tests three explanations for a nation's decision to go to war and continue fighting regardless of the costs. He combines sharp statistical analysis of interstate wars over the past two centuries with nine narrative case studies. He examines both well-known conflicts like World War II and the Persian Gulf War, as well as unfamiliar ones such as the 1864-1870 Paraguayan War (or the War of the Triple Alliance), which proportionally caused more deaths than any other war in modern history. When leaders go to war expecting easy victory, events usually correct their misperceptions quickly and with fairly low casualties, thereby setting the stage for a negotiated agreement. A second explanation involves motives born of domestic politics; as war becomes more intense, however, leaders are increasingly constrained in their ability to continue the fighting. Particularly destructive wars instead arise from mistrust of an opponent's intentions. Countries that launch preventive wars to forestall expected decline tend to have particularly ambitious war aims that they hold to even when fighting goes poorly. Moreover, in some cases, their opponents interpret the preventive attack as evidence of a dispositional commitment to aggression, resulting in the rejection of any form of negotiation and a demand for unconditional surrender. Weisiger's treatment of a topic of central concern to scholars of major wars will also be read with great interest by military historians, political psychologists, and sociologists. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aTotal war 606 $aLow-intensity conflicts (Military science) 606 $aLimited war 606 $aWar$xCauses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTotal war. 615 0$aLow-intensity conflicts (Military science) 615 0$aLimited war. 615 0$aWar$xCauses. 676 $a355.02 700 $aWeisiger$b Alex$f1977-$0910606 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996475761403316 996 $aLogics of war$92037974 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02500nam0 22004213i 450 001 TO01269832 005 20231121125844.0 010 $a8883341112 100 $a20040519d2003 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aA che punto è la storia delle donne in Italia$eseminario Annarita Buttafuoco, Milano, 15 marzo 2002$fa cura di Anna Rossi-Doria 210 $aRoma$cViella$d2003 215 $a187 p.$d21 cm 225 | $a˜I œlibri di Viella$v38 300 $aIn testa al front.: Unione femminile nazionale in collaborazione con Società italiana delle storiche. 330 $aLa ricca produzione e di storia delle donne e di genere nel nostro paese rende ormai non solo utile ma anche necessitano un esame critico dei suoi principali percorsi e nodi problematici. I saggi qui raccolti - nati dal seminario Annarita Buttafuoco tenutosi a Milano nel 2002 - analizzano, oltre ai rapporti tra storia delle donne e femminismo, i risultati e i metodi di ricerca, i rapporti con le tradizioni storiografiche, l'elaborazione di nuove categorie interpretative. I primi tre saggi esaminano gli studi seguendo e grandi partizioni cronologiche: gli altri analizzano alcuni dei terni storiografici su cui le ricerche italiane si sono maggiormente sviluppate. 410 0$1001CFI0226517$12001 $a˜I œlibri di Viella$v38 606 $aReggio Emilia$xStoria$x1371-1404$2FIR$3RMLC413375$9I 606 $aDonna$xPosizione sociale$xItalia$xStoria$2FIR$3RMLC243087$9I 676 $a305.420945$9Gruppi secondo il secco.
