The recent Afghanistan and Iraq wars were very controversial. The
conflicts' casualties, intractability and the apparent failure of
the US and its allies to achieve their objectives mean that many
see the wars as failures. This resulted in a loss of confidence in
the West of the utility of force as an instrument of state power.
Both wars have been well described by journalists. There is no
shortage of memoirs. But there is little discussion of how the
conduct of these wars and capabilities of the forces involved
changed and evolved, and of the implications of these developments
for future warfare. This book gives readers a clear understanding
of the military character dynamics of both wars and how these
changed between 2001 and 2014. This includes the strategy,
operations, tactics and technology of the forces of the US and its
allies, Afghan and Iraqi government forces as well as insurgents
and militias, showing how they evolved over time. Many of these
developments have wider relevance to future conflicts. The book
identifies those that are of potential wider application to US,
NATO and other western forces, to insurgents, as well as to forces
of states that might choose to confront the west militarily.
