He describes the political, strategic, conceptual, diplomatic, and ethical problems that can arise when a state's armed forces become engaged in counterterrorism, and argues that military power can only be employed as part of a coordinated counterterrorist strategy aimed at the containment and frustration -- rather than the physical elimination -- of the terrorist group(s) concerned.Military's role in counterterrorism War on Terrorism, 2001-2009TerrorismPreventionInternal securityWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009.TerrorismPrevention.Internal security.363.325/17Hughes Geraint1975-1370403Army War College (U.S.).Strategic Studies Institute.AWCAWCGPODOSGPOBOOK9910693402903321The military's role in counterterrorism3398741UNINA
