{ "item_title" : "Surrender by Design", "item_author" : [" Israel Carlos Lomovasky "], "item_description" : "What does victory look like when the enemy does not surrender?Modern democratic states face adversaries that rarely end wars in conventional ways. They fragment, hide among civilians, exploit hostages, shift into criminal networks, weaponize information, and wait for democracies to lose either patience or principle.In Surrender by Design: The War Endgame Doctrine for Democratic States, Dr Israel Carlos Lomovasky argues that the hardest part of war is not always how to fight it. It is how to finish it.This book lays out a full doctrine of democratic war termination: how to compel, structure, police, isolate, disarm, monitor, reconstruct, and politically contain unyielding adversaries without destroying the constitutional order in whose name the war is fought.Inside, the book examines: how coercion becomes surrender architecture rather than endless punishmenthow policing and intelligence replace battlefield dominance in the closing phasehow coalition strategy, sanctions, border denial, and supply disruption cut off regenerationhow hostage and prisoner frameworks change incentiveshow reconstruction conditionality can weaken coercive networks instead of subsidizing themhow information strategy avoids strategic self-destructionhow honest metrics reveal whether a war is truly endinghow red teams and wargaming expose endgame failure modesand why democratic victory is not real if democracy itself is hollowed out in the processThis is not a book of abstractions. It is a design manual for the hardest question in modern strategy: How does a democracy end a war against an enemy that refuses to end itself?For readers of military strategy, national security, counterinsurgency, stabilization, war termination, and democratic statecraft, Surrender by Design offers a rigorous and unsentimental answer.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/825/740/9798257407277_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "21.99", "online_price" : "21.99", "our_price" : "21.99", "club_price" : "21.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
