Andrew Bacevich has said, "War, we must always remind ourselves, is the continuation of politics by other means. Understanding any war requires first understanding that war's political basis. What brings the parties into conflict? What are they fighting for?"

His op-eds have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today, among other newspapers. He is a professor of history and international relations at Boston University, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, and received his PhD in American Diplomatic History from Princeton University.
