In this provocative challenge to US policy and strategy, Donald Stoker argues that America endures endless wars because its leaders no longer know how to think about war, particularly limited wars. He reveals how ideas on limited war and war in general evolved against the backdrop of American conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. These ideas, he shows, were flawed and have undermined America's ability to understand, wage, and win its wars, and to secure peace afterwards. America's leaders have too often taken the nation to war without understanding what they want or valuing victory, leading to the 'forever wars' of today. Why America Loses Wars dismantles seventy years of misguided thinking and lays the foundations for a new approach to the wars of tomorrow. Features Summary How can you achieve victory in war if you don't know your objectives or what victory means? Donald Stoker reveals the flaws in US policy and strategy from the Korean War to the present and lays the foundations for a better approach to the wars of tomorrow.

Captain Billy Pringle of the 106th Foot, having become embroiled in an ill-advised duel with a lieutenant in the 14th Light Dragoons has been posted to Spain to avoid any awkwardness for the regiment. Along with his friend Lieutenant Williams - whose sister Kitty was the cause of the duel - Pringle takes on the task of training Spanish troops to stand alongside their British allies. But what seems at first like easy duty soon turns into a desperate fight for survival as Bonaparte lays siege to the fortress.
