Making War, Thinking History
Munich, Vietnam, and Presidential Uses of Force from Korea to Kosovo
Samenvatting
In examining the influence of historical analogies on decisions to use or not use force, Jeffrey Record assesses every major application of US force from the Korean War to the NATO war on Serbia. Specifically, he looks at the influence of two analogies: the democracies’ appeasement of Hitler at Munich and America's defeat in the Vietnam War.
