What are the implications for issues of strategy? The authors of US Policy in Afghanistan and Iraq assess the impact of the two conflicts on US foreign policy, military planning, and capacities for counterinsurgency and state building. They also offer keenly insightful guidance for avoiding the pitfalls and increasing the prospects for success when the United States does intervene. 410 0$aTower Center political studies. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xInfluence 606 $aAfghan War, 2001-2021$xInfluence 606 $aMilitary planning$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xInfluence. 615 0$aAfghan War, 2001-2021$xInfluence. 615 0$aMilitary planning 676 $a956.7044/31 702 $aBrown$b Seyom 702 $aScales$b Robert H.$f1944- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815326803321 996 $aUS policy in Afghanistan and Iraq$94005222 997 $aUNINA
