Perspectives on the American Way of War: The U.S. Experience in Irregular Conflict: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Perspectives on the American Way of War: The U.S. Experience in Irregular Conflict" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Perspectives on the American Way of War examines salient cases of American experience in irregular warfare, focusing upon the post-World War II era.

This book asks why recent misfires have emerged in irregular warfare from an institutional, professional, and academic context which regularly produces evidence that there is in fact no lack of understanding of both irregular challenges and correct responses. Expert contributors explore the reasoning behind the inability to achieve victory, however defined, and argue that what security professionals have failed to fully recognize, even today, is that what is at issue is not warfare suffused with politics but rather the very opposite, politics suffused with warfare.

Perspectives on the American Way of War will be of great interest to scholars of war and conflict studies, strategic and military studies, insurgency and counterinsurgency, and terrorism and counterterrorism. The book was originally published as a special issue of Small Wars & Insurgencies.
