Counterinsurgency: Strategy and the Phoenix of American Capability
Kistler, James D. (Cover Artist) Carlisle Barracks, PA: U.S. Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute, 1995. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. v, [1], 39, [3] p. 23 cm. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "Dr. Steven Metz argues that the way the Department of Defense and U.S. military spend the time when counterinsurgency support is not an important part of American national security strategy determines how quickly and easily they react when policymakers commit the nation to such activity. If analysis and debate continues, at least at a low level, the military is better prepared for the reconstitution of capabilities. If it ignores global developments in insurgency and counterinsurgency, the reconstitution of capabilities would be more difficult. Dr. Steven Metz is Director of Research at the Strategic Studies Institute. He is the author of more than 100 publications. He is the author of Iraq and the Evolution of American Strategy. Dr. Metz holds a Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University, and an MA and BA from the University of South Carolina." Condition: Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
