Yet, for all the fierce policy debates over interventions and their lessons, scholars have largely ignored the systematic linkages between these smaller-scale wars and transformations in the grand strategies of states that prosecute them. In \u003cem\u003eWars of Revelation\u003c\/em\u003e, Rebecca Lissner explains why military interventions can be crucibles of grand strategy, testing strategic axioms on the battlefield and prompting combatant states to reconceive their global roles. Through detailed historical case studies of US involvement in the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf Wars, Lissner shows how each intervention generated searing insights into the capabilities and intentions of America's international adversaries - as well as the potential and limits of its own national power. By focusing on these three \"wars of revelation,\" Lissner presents a fresh perspective on the origins and evolutions of US grand strategy, from the dawn of the Cold War to its twilight. Persuasively argued and historically illuminating, \u003cem\u003eWars of Revelatio\u003c\/em\u003en is essential reading for anyone who crafts, studies, or follows international security policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Lissner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197583199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197583197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.16w x 0.63d","brand":"Rebecca Lissner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048585195775,"sku":"9780197583197","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abfbd232-0017-4858-aaae-d9f646f562cd.jpg?v=1684996629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wars-of-revelation-rebecca-lissner-9780197583197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
