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. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011 606 $aGreat powers$xHistory, Military$y21st century 606 $aGreat powers$xHistory, Military$y20th century 606 $aAsymmetric warfare$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aAsymmetric warfare$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory, Military$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 615 0$aGreat powers$xHistory, Military 615 0$aGreat powers$xHistory, Military 615 0$aAsymmetric warfare$xHistory 615 0$aAsymmetric warfare$xHistory 676 $a355.4/2 700 $aDeriglazova$b L.
