Nothing Less than Victory by John David Lewis
The goal of war is to defeat the enemy's will to fight. But how this can be accomplished is a thorny issue. This title shows that aggressive, strategic military offenses can win wars and establish lasting peace, while defensive maneuvers have often led to prolonged carnage, indecision, and stalemate.
"Lewis' analysis of war as a psychological struggle and 'clash of moral purposes' is lucid and forceful; it's especially telling in his incisive account of Sherman's march through Georgia, and especially provocative in his defense of the atomic bombings of Japan"--Publishers Weekly
