Why America Loses Wars: Limited War and American Strategy Since Korea is a book by military historian Donald Stoker. It examines With emphasis on the ideas espoused in Carl von Clausewitz's On War, Stoker criticizes both American military and political leadership for specific failures during the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars and orthodox proponents of what he calls "limited war theory" for inconsistency and weak methodology. Stoker accuses both of working under flawed and vague assumptions about war that produce an inability to settle on specific objectives, hesitancy to achieve them, and, ultimately, defeat.
