Is This A Private Fight Or Can Anybody Join

Some countries join interstate wars well after the war has begun, waiting months and often years, and thus changing their beliefs about the wisdom of entering a war. This volume examines why this might be so, focusing on unforeseen events in wars which cause neutral players to update their expectations about the trajectory of the war, therefore explaining why some wars spread while others do not. The author uses a combination of case studies and statistical analysis to test this theory: the Crimean War, the Franco-Prussian War, World War I, and a study of the spread of war since World War II. Designed for courses on and research into war and other international security issues, this book is a must read.

Incorporating a combination of case studies and statistical analysis to illustrate the research, this volume examines why some countries join interstate wars well after the war has begun. The book focuses on unforeseen events in wars which cause neutral players to update their expectations about the trajectory of the war.

This extraordinary book has been called the seminal work on the historical, social, and spiritual aspects of the American Dream. Charlie Douglas analyzes its foundation, and lays out a clear, inspiring, empowering vision of the Dream and what it can become for each of us. Everyone pursues the American Dream in some way. It's our collective mantra and motivation to pursue success and quality of life through our sacred freedoms. Its essence very much defines what it means to be an American. Amidst a vastly changed world, a struggling economy, and a population that has lost trust in many of the country's fundamental institutions, this insightful book brings us back to the authentic Dream. It covers the quest for material wealth, and describes how the Dream's greatness lies in a much richer blend of economic freedom, spirituality, and amassing a rich legacy for future generations. The Dream isn't just America's message to a troubled world; it's our Creator's message to all humanity. Hailed by notable Americans of diverse backgrounds and political persuasions, Awaken The American Dream is ultimately the right book at precisely the right time. Awaken The American Dream will inspire and encourage you to build lasting wealth through both spiritual and financial capital, enabling you to leave an even more worthwhile legacy for your loved ones and for generations to come.
