Since the end of the Cold War, and especially since September
11, 2001, the United States has faced daunting challenges in the
areas of foreign policy and national security. Threatened by
failing states, insurgencies, civil wars, and terrorism, the nation
has been compelled to re-evaluate its traditional responses to
global conflict. In this timely book, John T. Fishel and Max G.
Manwaring present a much-needed strategy for conducting
unconventional warfare in an increasingly violent world.
In the early 1990s, Manwaring introduced a new paradigm for
addressing low-intensity conflicts, or conflicts other than major
wars. Termed the Manwaring Paradigm or SWORD (Small Wars Operations
Research Directorate) model, it has been tested successfully by
scholars and practitioners and refined in the wake of new and
significant "uncomfortable wars" around the world, most notably the
conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Uncomfortable Wars" Revisited
broadens the definition of the original paradigm and applies it to
specific confrontations
