Unintended War: A Study and Commentary in the Beyond Deterrence Series

Unintended War: A Study and Commentary in the Beyond Deterrence Series is a thought-provoking book written by Arthur Ocean Waskow. The book analyzes the concept of unintended war, which is the possibility of a war breaking out due to misperceptions, miscommunications, or accidents, rather than a deliberate decision to engage in conflict.Waskow delves into various historical examples of unintended wars, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. He also examines the current geopolitical landscape and the potential for unintended war between nations with nuclear capabilities.The author argues that traditional methods of deterrence, such as nuclear weapons, are not enough to prevent unintended war. Instead, he suggests alternative approaches such as diplomacy, communication, and mutual understanding between nations.The book is part of the Beyond Deterrence Series, which explores alternative approaches to national security and international relations. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academics and general readers interested in the topic of unintended war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
