O'Connor attempts three main things here: (1) a discussion of the variety of meanings attributed to the term "victory"; (2) a survey of how various war endings from the American Revolution to contemporary wars of national liberation measure up to these conceptions of victory (what did " victory" mean in each case to the belligerents? did the outcome constitute "victory"?); and (3) a discussion of various factors influencing the outcome of warfare today. In treating these subjects, O'Connor provides the reader with some two dozen definitions or conceptions of victory; about the same number of different observations concerning war aims, changes in war aims, and their role; and some six dozen circumstances or factors influencing the termination of wars. In addition, he offers a variety of generalizations about how wars end which may serve as subjects for further investigation
