The post-9/11 world has witnessed a rebirth of irregular and
asymmetrical warfare, which, in turn, has led to an increase in
conflicts between conventional armies and non-state armed groups.
In their haste to respond to the threat from insurgencies, nations
often fail to plan effectively not only for combat operations but
also for withdrawal, which is inevitable, win or lose. In order to
answer the question of how to withdraw from engagement with an
insurgency, Gleis examines how insurgencies are conducted and what,
if anything, is unique about an Islamist insurgency. He then
proposes ways to combat these groups successfully and to
disentangle one’s military forces from the war once strategic
objectives have been met—or once it is clear that they cannot be.
Because this type of warfare is dynamic and ever-changing, this
book is not meant to suggest a set of cookie-cutter solutions for
how to withdraw from insurgencies. Rather, the author analyzes six
counterinsurgency operations that have taken place in the past,
with the intention of gleaning from them as many lessons as
possible to better prepare for future withdrawals.The literature on
how wars end has failed to explore irregular warfare.This much
needed reexamination serves as an indispensable starting point.
