Paying the Human Costs of War: American Public Opinion and Casualties in Military Conflicts

by Christopher Gelpi (Author), PeterD.Feaver (Author), JasonReifler (Author)

From the Korean War to the conflict in Iraq, this book examines the ways in which the American public decides whether to support the use of military force. Contrary to the conventional view, it demonstrates that the public does not respond reflexively and solely to the number of casualties in a conflict.
