War Without Exit: The Economic Logic of Wars That Cannot Stop

by Alexander Capatana

Why do wars continue even when victory is no longer possible?
This book examines war as an economic system rather than a political decision. Mobilization, production, logistics, and replacement transform conflict into a process that cannot be halted without collapse.
War Without Exit explains why modern wars persist not because leaders choose continuation, but because stopping becomes more dangerous than fighting.

About the author

Alexander Capatana writes history as structure—not as myth.
His work rejects the “Great Man” narrative and focuses on the mechanics that make outcomes inevitable: industrial capacity, coordination costs, administrative overload, and systemic lock-in.

His central thesis is simple:

History does not turn on decisions—decisions turn inside systems already in motion.
Wars continue not because leaders insist, but because mobilization becomes irreversible. Empires collapse not because they are defeated, but because scale becomes too expensive to maintain.

Capatana’s books explore the hidden layer beneath events:

War as throughput

Diplomacy as theater

Victory as irreversibility

Empire as constraint

Collapse as accounting

He writes for readers who want the real logic behind war, empire, and power—without moral mythology, nostalgia, or ideological noise.
