Based on Dr. Moten’s edited volume, Between War and Peace, this course explores the history of war in America. We’ll examine why wars are easier to enter than to end, and how policymakers’ initial aims often differ from the final outcomes. Through the study of six American wars, we’ll seek to understand these complex dynamics.
