Helmbold Robert L. Do battles and wars have a common relationship between casualties and victory?

Army Concepts Analysis Agency, Bethesda, MD, 1987. — 65 p.This study examines whether a relation between casualties and victory in land combat battles, discovered in the course of earlier research, holds also for wars. It finds that this relation, or one similar to it, quite likely does hold for wars as well as battles. The paper also includes a brief exploration of the trend over historical time of the key quantities involved. It appears that the key variables involved have been quite stable from at least the early 1800s to the present day.
