At present and probably for some years to come, America's enemies
are of an irregular character. These irregular enemies necessarily
wage war in modes that are largely unconventional. In this
monograph, Dr. Colin S. Gray considers irregular warfare in the
light of the general theory of strategy and finds that that theory
is fully adequate to explain the phenomenon. Rather less adequate,
Dr. Gray suggests, is the traditional American way of war. The
monograph offers a detailed comparison between the character of
irregular warfare, insurgency in particular, and the principal
enduring features of "the American way." It concludes that there is
a serious mismatch between that "way" and the kind of behavior that
is most effective in countering irregular foes. Dr. Gray poses the
question, Can the American way of war adapt to a strategic threat
context dominated by irregular enemies? He suggests that the answer
is "perhaps, but only with difficulty."
