E73 Triumph of the Will

Clausewitz wrote that war is an act of violence to force the enemy to do our will. But what is that “will?” A 2019 Rand Study found that there is no official or agreed definition of “will” in the context of warfighting. In this episode, I tackle the question of what will means, why it is important, and the dangers going to war without a national will for victory.
(Note: I am full aware of the title. It just sounded more catchy than "The Will to Fight.")
