This book analyses the American way of war within the context of
Clausewitzian theory. In doing so, it draws conclusions about the
origins, viability, and technical feasibility of America's current
strategic approach. The author argues that the situation in which
America has found itself in Iraq is the direct result of a
culturally predisposed inclination to substitute technology for
strategy. This habit manifests most extremely in the form of the
Network-Centric Warfare/Effects-Based Operations (NCW/EBO)
construct, which by and large has failed to deliver on its many
promises. This book argues that the fundamental problem with the
NCW/EBO - and with US defence transformation, generally - is that
it centres on technology at the expense of other dynamics, notably
the human one. Taking a fresh perspective on US strategic cultural
predispositions in an era of persistent military conflict, the
author argues for the necessity of America's revising its strategic
paradigm in favour of a more holistic brand of strategy. This book
will be of much interest to students of Clausewitz, Strategic
Studies, International Security and US foreign policy.
