Sommario/riassunto |
|
Counterinsurgency is now the main challenge facing the armed forces of the US and NATO countries. Although that challenge is faced daily in Afghanistan and Iraq, the assault is also on the liberal democratic institutions of these countries. This book explains how insurgents think and how this is different from how the armed forces think. |
