HOW WARS END, PRI's The World

HOW WARS END

PRI's The World

The war in Iraq has now lasted more than five years. "Tell me how this ends," General David Petraeus said famously early on in the conflict.
In her five-part series The World's Jeb Sharp is looking at how wars end. They don't end quite the way we imagine they do. And sometimes they don't end at all. She looks to the past for some clues.

The 1991 Gulf War unfolded almost without a hitch and unlike Vietnam, the ending seemed clean. It didn't take long for that image to unravel, though, as Jeb Sharp explains in part four of our series.
