Lessons Encountered: Learning from the Long War Paperback / softback
by National Defense University, Joseph J. Collins, Jr., Richard D. Hooker
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume represents an early attempt at assessing the Long War, now in its 14th year.
Forged in the fires of the 9/11 attacks, the war includes campaigns against al Qaeda, major conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and operations in the Horn of Africa, the Republic of the Philippines, and globally, in the air and on the sea.
The authors herein treat only the campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, the largest U.S. efforts. It is intended for future senior officers, their advisors, and other national security decisionmakers.
By derivation, it is also a book for students in joint professional military education courses, which will qualify them to work in the field of strategy.
While the book tends to focus on strategic decisions and developments of land wars among the people, it acknowledges that the status of the United States as a great power and the strength of its ground forces depend in large measure on the dominance of the U.S.
Navy and U.S. Air Force in their respective domains.
