How wars end: Revisiting our series about one of the most difficult aspects of war

As the US finds itself embroiled in another war, though not with troops, we are reairing our series, “How Wars End,” that first ran in 2008. To understand what has changed and what we’ve learned since then, Marco Werman speaks to two academics that were key to the series, Stephen Biddle of Columbia University and Monica Duffy Toft of Tufts University.
