Book Synopsis
Common and destructive, limited wars are significant international events that pose a number of challenges to the states involved beyond simple victory or defeat. This book investigates a crucial and heretofore ignored factor in determining the nature and direction of limited war: information institutions.

Trade Review
"Bakich addresses an important puzzle-the sources of mixed strategic success in US experience with limited wars since World War II-by advancing a novel argument concerning the role of 'information institutions.' Success and Failure in Limited War provides a very useful framework that both complements the mountain of historical and decision-making literature on the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, as well as integrates emerging insights from many insiders regarding contemporary decision-making in the two Iraq wars." (Adam N. Stulberg, Georgia Institute of Technology)"
