My thesis proposes to study recent U.S. conflicts to search for strategic success in war was gained with and without resorting to decisive battle. I have attempted to analyze the variables of political leadership, military commanders, casualties, public opinion, and the war outcome (the resulting peace) across these recent U.S. contingency operations unrelated to the Cold War.
