Counterinsurgency : What the United States Learned in Vietnam, Chose to Forget and Needs to Know Today Paperback / softback
by David Donovan
Paperback / softback
Description
Counterinsurgency will be the prominent style of American warfare in the 21st century: This has long been a common prediction regarding United States foreign policy and has thus far proven true. Written for those who study counterinsurgency from a policy perspective as well as for those who do counterinsurgency in the field, this book demonstrates that the U.S. has had difficulty meeting the challenges of this special form of warfare because it has not properly processed important lessons from the past.
Based on the author's wartime experiences, a broad range of topics are covered - from factors to be considered in accepting a counterinsurgency partner, to “rules†for advisors in the field - with points illustrated by real-life examples.
