Recenzii
General and professional readers.
Adam Lowther's analysis of America's experience in asymmetric conflict affords a unique perspective in a burgeoning genre. The author explores America's role in conflicts characterized by disproportionate capabilities and ill-defined objectives. He succeeds in painstakingly tracing the history of unconventional military theory. Lowther provides a superbly systematic analysis of US involvment in Lebanon, Somalia, and Afghanistan. . . . Americans and Asymmetric Conflict provides a rich survey of military thought that is instructive for those seeking a concise source on unconventional warfare theory. The case studies of Lebanon, Somalia, and Afghanistan are balanced and insightful, and hold value for future contingency planners. They are also an excellent resource to supplement other primary sources related to similar conflicts.
In the hopes that we may move forward in the current conflicts with an awareness of what past experience offers, Lowther explores recent American experiences with asymmetric warfare in Lebanon (1982-1984), Somalia (1992-1994), and Afghanistan (2001-2006). For each case, he analyzes the economic, military, and political conditions prior to American intervention; examines American objectives; analyzes how American forces combated the asymmetric strategy and tactics of its adversary; assesses whether American objectives were achieved; and explores the lessons learned, which include issues of human intelligence, force capability, static defense, nation building, and conflict idiosyncrasy.
