Abstract

This is a book review of: Keen, D. (2012) Useful enemies: when waging wars is more important than winning. Yale University Press. 9780300205435, 304 pages.

There is conventional wisdom that wars are waged to be won (UN Official Record, 1976); and that “victory is the outcome preferred by most actors” (Wallensteen, 2019:16). This book challenges these assertions.
