Bargaining, communication, and limited war

Limited war requires limits; so do strate? gic maneuvers if they are to be stabilized short of war. But limits require agreement or at least some kind of mutual recognirion and acquiescence. And agreement on limits is difficult to reach, not only because of the uncertainties and the acute divergence of interests but because negoriation is severely inhibited both during war and before it begins and because communication becomes difficult between adversaries in time of war.
