A central purpose of this monograph is to reexamine two earlier conflicts for insights that may be relevant for ongoing dangers during limited wars involving nations possessing chemical or biological weapons or emerging nuclear arsenals.

A central purpose of this monograph is to reexamine two earlier conflicts for insights that may be relevant for ongoing dangers during limited wars involving nations possessing chemical or biological weapons or emerging nuclear arsenals. These conflicts are the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the 1991 Gulf War. Both of these wars were fought at the conventional level, although the prospect of Israel using nuclear weapons (1973), Egypt using biological weapons (1973), or Iraq using chemical and biological weapons (1991) were of serious concern at various points during the fighting. This monograph will consider why efforts at escalation control and intrawar deterrence were successful in the two case studies and assess the points at which these efforts were under the most intensive stress that might have caused them to fail.

Seller's Description:
Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling. xiii, [1], 112, [2] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "This monograph seeks to analyze military escalation and intrawar deterrence by examining two key wars where these concepts became especially relevant the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq. A central conclusion is that intrawar deterrence is an inherently fragile concept, and that the non use of weapons of mass destruction in both wars was the result of a number of positive factors that may not be repeated in future conflicts. Dr. W. Andrew Terrill is SSI's Middle East specialist. He was a nonproliferation analyst for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Terrill published on proliferation, the Iran-Iraq War, DESERT STORM, chemical weapons, ballistic missile proliferation, terrorism, and commando operations. Dr. Terrill participated in the Middle East Regional Security Track 2 talks (part of the Middle East Peace Process). He was a member of the military and security working group of the Baker/Hamilton Iraq Study Group."
