A review of past cases of U.S. security policy decision making and a preview of some future problems are combined to distill important lessons about coping with conflict in the post-Cold War world. These lessons include the awareness that some conflicts are unnecessarily provoked or prolonged on account of the gap between the perspectives and experiences of civilian policy makers and the views of the armed forces leadership. Another important lesson is that, in resolving or managing conflicts, perceptions, and expectations of leaders filter out alternatives that might have led to preferred solutions had they been attempted in good time. Of particular interest to policy makers, military professionals, and researchers involved with contemporary military issues. 606 $aMilitary policy$vCase studies 606 $aMilitary history, Modern$y20th century 606 $aInternational relations$vCase studies 606 $aCold War 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 615 0$aMilitary policy 615 0$aMilitary history, Modern 615 0$aInternational relations 615 0$aCold War. 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a327.1/6/0904 700 $aCimbala$b Stephen J$0846069 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971313303321 996 $aThrough a glass darkly$94336000 997 $aUNINA
