Lessons Remembered: From Manila to Kabul the Roots of the Us Counterinsurgency Strategy in Afghanistan

Více o knize

The book explores the enduring principles of counterinsurgency, emphasizing that many modern conflicts are not as novel as often portrayed. It argues that historical lessons from past military engagements, such as those in the Philippines and Vietnam, remain relevant today. By referencing influential military theorists like Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, the author stresses the importance of applying historical strategies to current operations, particularly in Afghanistan, rather than discarding them in favor of new tactics that may lack proven effectiveness.
