| Bibliography: | In this timely book the author give us a probing analysis of modern war and to call for radically new military thinking. Why, he asks, do we use armed forces to solve our political problems? And how is it that our armies can win battles but fail to solve the problems? The author demonstrates why today's conflict must be uinderstood as intertwined political and military events. He makes clear why the current one-size-fits all model of total war, fought out on battlefields, that politicians still cling to must be abandoned in favor of new strategies that take into account the fact that wars are now fought among civilian populations. And he offers a compelling new model for how to fight these battles-and secure our world. |
