Restraining Air Power
Escalation Management between Peer Air Forces
The surge in cyber warfare, the development of artificially intelligent weaponry, and the founding of the United States Space Force in 2019 mean that analysts and military planners must be prepared to think about escalation management and peer conflict in increasingly complicated and arduous ways. This comprehensive study provides readers with refined theoretical visions of the possibilities and challenges of managing escalation as a powerful mode of warfare between opponents who believe they must choose between sacrificing their own national interests or risking escalated destruction of their economies, military forces, and governing authority. The analysis within the pages of this volume updates our understanding of air warfare within a world of unprecedented military complexity and, as such, will hold immense value for specialists in advanced military studies as well as those studying international relations and history.
About the Author
Reviews
"In an age of escalatory rhetoric among potential state adversaries, this excellent book could not be more opportune. Because of its enormous destructive potential, air power needs to be applied in a precise and proportionate manner, according to well-defined appropriate strategies. Air power applied without strategy leads to the seduction of tactical success and the risk of escalation. Restraining Air Power utilises a cross-section of theoretical and historical case studies in order to examine how escalation was managed, and, in each case, at least one of the sides in the conflict was a nuclear-equipped power. The collection explores the dangers of accidental, inadvertent and deliberate escalation, and the penalties of placing all deterrent eggs in the nuclear basket. This work is a plea for balanced force structures and sound strategy making."—Dr. Christina Goulter, co-director of Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War at King's College London
