She then focuses on the experiences of British decolonization after World War II and the United States in the 2003 Iraq war. Great Powers, Small Wars employs several large databases to identify basic characteristics and variables of wars between enemies of disproportionate power. Case studies examine the economics, domestic politics, and international factors that ultimately shaped military events more than military capacity and strategy.Iraq War, 2003-2011Great powersHistory, Military21st centuryGreat powersHistory, Military20th centuryAsymmetric warfareHistory21st centuryAsymmetric warfareHistory20th centuryGreat BritainColoniesHistory, Military20th centuryElectronic books.
