U.S. Military Intervention in the Post-Cold War Era

In this accessible study, political scientist Glenn J. Antizzo explores the key factors that determine the success of US military interventions, analyzing criteria such as clear objectives, public support, and geographic scope. He evaluates recent case studies—including Panama, Iraq, Somalia, and Kosovo—to assess which interventions succeeded or failed and discusses how evolving politics and the War on Terror continue to influence US military strategy today.
