The wars since 9/11, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, have generated
frustration and an increasing sense of failure in the West. Much of
the blame has been attributed to poor strategy. In both the United
States and the United Kingdom, public enquiries and defence think
tanks have detected a lack of consistent direction, of effective
communication, and of governmental coordination. In this important
book, Sir Hew Strachan, one of the world's leading military
historians, reveals how these failures resulted from a fundamental
misreading and misapplication of strategy itself. He argues that
the wars since 2001 have not in reality been as 'new' as has been
widely assumed and that we need to adopt a more historical approach
to contemporary strategy in order to identify what is really
changing in how we wage war. If war is to fulfil the aims of
policy, then we need first to understand war.
