This book illuminates on the US strategy of proxy warfare in modern
times with the Syrian Civil War as a case study. Spyridon Plakoudas
and Wojtek Michnik fuse modern history with international relations
and strategic studies in order to offer an up-to-date and critical
analysis of this unique partnership between a state (USA) and a
non-state actor (Syrian Kurds) against another non-state actor
(ISIS) - amidst the wider Syrian civil war. They argue that this
partnership ended up as a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it
defeated ISIS at a minimum cost in money and blood in comparison to
the Iraq War, but, on the other hand, it ensnared the USA into a
tangled web of competition and conflict with other powers with no
easy way-out. In other words, proxy warfare may prove a
not-so-cheap investment in the end.
