War termination reflects a civil-military bargain and affects relevant decisions made by political leaders. For the leader embroiled in protracted war, this risk dictates whether he or she will commit more resources to the fight or else cut the state's losses and get out.
From the Hundred Years'' War to recent US operations in Afghanistan, the decision to end protracted armed conflict ultimately represents a bargain between political and military leaders. This "civil-military variable" affects the domestic politics of war termination by altering the dynamics of blame attribution. While nobody wants to lose a war, it is also the case nobody wants to be blamed for losing a war. This book shows how the interplay between political and military leadership moderates the extent to which political leadership risks being held culpable, and subsequently punished, for a failed war. Such risk factors into a political leader''s war termination calculus, dictating whether he or she will remain committed to fighting or prove willing to cut the state''s losses and get out.
