This book reveals the path that led to the impasse in Iraq, why powerful standing armies are now helpless against ill-equipped insurgents, and how the security of sovereign nations may be maintained in the future. Van Creveld takes us on a journey from the last century's clashes of massive armies to today's short, high-tech, lopsided skirmishes and frustrating quagmires. War today is a mix of the ancient and the advanced, as state-of-the-art armies fail to defeat small groups of crudely outfitted guerrilla and terrorists. How to learn from the recent past to reshape the military for this new challenge--how we can still save, in a sense, the free world--is the ultimate lesson of this big, bold, and cautionary work.--From publisher description. 0aMilitary history, Moderny20th century.413Table of contents onlyuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0714/2006048573.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0708/2006048573-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0708/2006048573-d.html413Sample textuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0708/2006048573-s.html  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn2518638  aBaker and TaylorbBTCPn2006048573  aBaker & TaylorbBKTYc25.95d19.46i0891419012n0006844484sactive  aIngrambINGRn9780891419013  2lcccbk  aC0bDRFGD  aMF  c31925d31925  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2023-04-10h3l0oD431 V223 2006p00000088710r2018-10-23 00:00:00t1w2018-10-23ybk
