In The Soul of Armies Austin Long compares and contrasts counterinsurgency operations during the Cold War and in recent years by three organizations: the US Army, the US Marine Corps, and the British Army. Long argues that the formative experiences of these three organizations as they professionalized in the nineteenth century has produced distinctive organizational cultures that shape operations. Combining archival research on counterinsurgency campaigns in Vietnam and Kenya with the author's personal experience as a civilian advisor to the military in Iraq and Afghanistan, The Soul of Armies demonstrates that the US Army has persistently conducted counterinsurgency operations in a very different way from either the US Marine Corps or the British Army. These differences in conduct have serious consequences, affecting the likelihood of success, the potential for civilian casualties and collateral damage, and the ability to effectively support host nation governments. Long concludes counterinsurgency operations are at best only a partial explanation for success or failure. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aCounterinsurgency 606 $aMilitary doctrine$zGreat Britain 606 $aMilitary doctrine$zUnited States 607 $aGreat Britain$xArmed Forces$xAttitudes 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xAttitudes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCounterinsurgency. 615 0$aMilitary doctrine 615 0$aMilitary doctrine 676 $a355.02/180941 700 $aLong$b Austin G.$0986688 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910479883903321 996 $aThe Soul of Armies$92485776 997 $aUNINA
