War and Peace, and Wars Between Wars

<p>In the past — at least in the past as we like to remember it — wars began with declarations and ended with surrenders or negotiated “peace agreements.”</p> <p>In the real world — most emphatically in the real world of the 21st century — there are wars, and there are wars between wars.</p> <p>Jacob Nagel, a senior fellow at FDD, served as head of Israel’s National Security Council. Before that, he served in the Israel Defense Forces, rising to the rank of brigadier general.</p> <p>Bradley Bowman is senior director of FDD’s Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP). He has served as a national security advisor to members of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees. He was also a U.S. Army officer, “Blackhawk” pilot, and assistant professor at West Point, from which he also graduated.</p> <p>They join host Clifford D. May to discuss issues of war and peace — and the grey zone in between.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Subscribe to FDD's Foreign Podicy here on Apple Podcasts and anywhere else you enjoy listening to podcasts.</p> <p> </p> <ul style="list-style-type:square;"><li>More from Cliff: <a href='https://www.fdd.org/team/clifford-d-may/'>https://www.fdd.org/team/clifford-d-may/</a> </li> <li>More from Jacob: <a href='https://www.fdd.org/team/jacob-nagel/'>https://www.fdd.org/team/jacob-nagel/</a> </li> <li>More from Brad: <a href='https://www.fdd.org/team/bradley-bowman/'>https://www.fdd.org/team/bradley-bowman/</a> </li> <li>More from FDD's Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP): <a href='https://www.fdd.org/projects/center-on-military-and-political-power/'>https://www.fdd.org/projects/center-on-military-and-political-power/</a> </li> </ul>
