Preface: The Provenance of “Dying by the
Sword”
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 26:52, King James Version
This book would not have been possible without the steadfast work
and support of the wonderful team at the Center for Strategic
Studies (CSS) at Tufts University’s Fletcher School. That team
includes postdoctoral fellows, PhD fellows, and our large team of
research assistants. We thank Nils Hägerdal, who directed the final
year of the Military Intervention Project (MIP) and produced a
completed data set of US military interventions from 1776 to 2019,
and also contributed to case study analysis and summaries.
We are also grateful to past and present CSS postdoctoral fellows
Karim Elkady, Benjamin Denison, Stephen Moncrief, and Aroop
Mukharjee for their research support on MIP; as well as their
insightful reviews of chapter drafts. Thanks as well to past and
present CSS Research Fellows Lima Ahmad, Neha Ansari, Zoltan
Feher and David Kampf, who each supported this book via their case
study research and literature notes.
We thank past and present CSS program coordinators Anna Ronell
and Polina Beliakova for their wide range of support for the Center’s
research initiatives, budgets, and vision, among other contributions.
We should add that in the several years of rigorous research it
took to produce the MIP data set and case studies, a superb team of
research assistants at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
were instrumental in researching cases, doing background historical
research, and updating components of our data set. We are grateful
for our RA leaders and researchers Bryan Cassella, Mario
Zampaglione, Dylan Farley, Andrew Hogan, and Emily Kennelly who
trained and supervised other RAs on dataset coding and entry as
well as completed case study research and writing. We thank the
rest of our amazing RA team for their hard work, including our
senior RAs Daniel Creamer, Jacqueline Faselt, Moriah Graham, Daniel
Morton, and Nate Dobbin, as well as Samuel Carletta, Emilio
Contreras, David Folsom, Ian Franckling, Camille Freestone, Becki
Glawe, Michael Gradus, Sam Green, Nicholas Guarnaccia, Chelsea
Hanlon, Madeleine Herr, Grady Jacobsen, Alex Kersten, Abby Kukura,
Jack Lashendock, Rachael Lew, Claire McGillem, Meagan Reid,
Stefan Shover, Carson Thal, Michael Vandergriff, and Cassandra
Zavislak. We’re also very grateful for Rachel Goretsky’s editing and
formatting of our manuscript as it reached its final stage.
We would like to thank the Charles Koch Foundation for its
generous funding of our MIP data set and the many activities of the
Center for Strategic Studies, from which this book is derived.
We’re grateful also to our manuscript reviewers for their insightful
feedback, which made this book stronger and better. We’re also
thankful for our Oxford University Press editor David McBride for his
expertise and support through every step of this journey; as well as
Kevin Eagan for his editorial guidance and Hemalatha Arumugam
and Sarah Ebel for their patient and sound management of our
manuscript.
Lastly, we owe so much to our respective families for their love
and support through this long and challenging journey. Monica Duffy
Toft would especially like to thank her husband Ivan Arreguín-Toft
and their children Sam and Ingrid for their support as she started
working on this book; and for helping to provide the time, patience,
and space needed to finish it.
Sidita Kushi would especially like to thank her parents, Edmond
and Shpresa Kushi, for their abundant love, wisdom, and sacrifices.
They risked it all in a foreign land for the sake of their children, and
it was their bravery and hard work that made it possible for the
author to pursue her intellectual dreams. Sidita Kushi would also like
to thank her sister Odeta for her constant support and lifelong
friendship like no other. Lastly, she is grateful for her husband Iliya,
who patiently endured the author’s writing process and supplied a
healthy dose of distraction.
