The conflict in Iraq is characterized by three faces of war:
interstate conflict, civil war, and insurgency. The Coalition’s
invasion of Iraq in March 2003 began as an interstate war. No
sooner had Saddam Hussein been successfully deposed, however, than
U.S.-led forces faced a lethal insurgency. After Sunni al Qaeda in
Iraq bombed the Shia al-Askari Shrine in 2006, the burgeoning
conflict took on the additional element of civil war with sectarian
violence between the Sunni and the Shia. The most effective
strategies in a war as complicated as the three-level conflict in
Iraq are intertwined and complementary, according to the editors of
this volume. For example, the “surge” in U.S. troops in 2007
went beyond an increase in manpower; the mission had changed,
giving priority to public security. This new direction also
simultaneously addressed the insurgency as well as the civil war by
forging new, trusting relationships between Americans and Iraqis
and between Sunni and Shia. This book has broad implications for
future decisions about war and peace in the twenty-first century.
