{"product_id":"9798216052814","title":"Beyond Guns and Steel: A War Termination Strategy","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis work is a doctrinal examination of war termination strategy and conflict resolution as a dependent pair, requiring a plan to achieve both in unison in advance of a fight.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe necessity of a plan for conflict resolution should be intuitively obvious for policymakers, yet a survey of recent conflicts, including Afghanistan and Iraq, shows that not to be the case. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Guns and Steel: A War Termination Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e provides a practical approach to establishing a plan for war termination and conflict resolution \u003ci\u003ebefore\u003c\/i\u003e the bullets fly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn explaining the difference between strategy and policy, Colonel Dominic J. Caraccilo clarifies the most important, and often the most constraining, element of a nation's power—its resources. He posits that termination strategy and conflict resolution are interdependent and need to be included in conflict plans from the outset. Caraccilo's book fills a void in current strategy for the development of long-term plans that bring conflicts to timely and acceptable conclusions, providing a methodology that allows interagency requirements and resources for war termination to be defined, allocated, and employed effectively.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608980934897,"sku":"9798216052814","price":61.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9798216052814_p0.jpg?v=1765901363","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9798216052814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
