Description
Limited War is a thoughtful study of one of two defined objectives of “the rational use of military power.” These are “(a) the deterrence of such major
aggressions as would cause total war; (b) the deterrence or defeat of lesser aggressions.” This book is directed toward the achievement of the second. Professor Osgood’s basic assumption is that if we lack the capacity and will to wage limited war, limited Communist aggression, which he anticipates, will force us to make a disastrous choice among total war, non-resistance, or ineffective resistance.
