Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Anmerkungen / beschriftet / Stempel; Ohne Schutzumschlag. The strategy of limited war has transformed the American approach to the use of force and played a key role in U.S. foreign policy since World War II. As the mainstay of containment it was designed to deter and fight wars effectively at a tolerable cost and risk in the nuclear age by providing the United States with a flexible and controlled response to a variety of military threats. The strategy met a severe challenge in the Vietnam war; it has nevertheless continued to prevail as a doctrine, if not necessarily with its former utility, by adapting to the changing domestic and international environment after Vietnam. Robert E. Osgood critically examines the success, ambiguities, and flaws of the strategy in its expanding application to postwar military policy. He interprets its impact on the Vietnam war and vice versa, extends his analysis to the new challenges posed by changes in technology and the military balance that affect U.S. security, and concludes with a searching inquiry into the problems of limited war where its utility as an instrument of foreign policy is now most in doubt: the Third World.…

The Osgood Center for International Relations is named for him. Never before, in times of peace, has a group of nations been so inextricably committed to a common interest as are the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. For the United States, in particular, such deep entanglement with the affairs of other nations marks a revolution of foreign policy. Since its creation in 1949, NATO has been the outstanding political instrument of American security, but the extensive military and political collaboration it demands is a source of trouble as well as of strength. Robert Osgood, in this book, concerns himself primarily with the military-strategic sources of NATO's troubles. But military strategy has become, he holds, far more than "the science and art of fighting battles." With the present hesitation to resort to open warfare, the political and psychological consequence of the disposition of armed forces may be the primary function of military strategy. Such vexing problems as the stabilization of deterrence and the command and control of nuclear weapons are as much matters of high politics as of military logic. It is essential for NATO to adjust the terms of military collaboration to meet the growth of Soviet nuclear power, the tactics of 'peaceful coexistence," the prospect of America's allies acquiring nuclear weapons, and the economic and political resurgence of Western Europe. To achieve this politically sensitive task, Dr. Osgood believe that a major strategic revision is necessary, that the United States must be the instigator, and that the Europeans must assume a larger responsibility in NATO's plans and decisions.…
