Reviews

Sullivan convincingly argues that war aims of interstate-dispute initiators and internal-conflict interveners play a more determinative role in who wins an armed conflict than most factors conventionally considered... Qualitative and quantitative data provide supporting evidence, creating a good example of mixed-methods research. Sullivan writes clearly throughout, making the book accessible beyond scholars and practitioners... Sullivan has written a thought-provoking book that opens new avenues of research. --CHOICE
