Commentary on "Victory Misunderstood"

Abstract

This paper responds to three critiques of 'Victory Misunderstood: What the Gulf War Tells Us about the Future of Conflict' (International Security, Vol. 21, No. 2, Fall 1996). The critics both attack the analysis in 'Victory Misunderstood,' and offer their own, preferred, explanations of the Coalition's loss rate in the Gulf War. The response argues that neither the critics' attacks nor their alternative theories stand up to scrutiny, and offers a detailed rebuttal of the critics' case.
