Learning the Lessons of Modern War uses the study of the recent
past to illuminate the future. More specifically, it examines the
lessons of recent wars as a way of understanding continuity and
change in the character and conduct of war. The volume brings
together contributions from a group of well-known scholars and
practitioners from across the world to examine the conduct of
recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, South America,
and Asia. The book's first section consists of chapters that
explore the value of a contemporary approach to history and reflect
on the value of learning lessons from the past. Its second section
focuses on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chapters on Iraq
discuss the lessons of the Iraq War, the British perspective on the
conflict, and the war as seen through the lens of Saddam Hussein's
military. Chapters on Afghanistan discuss counterinsurgency
operations during the war, Britain's experience in Afghanistan,
raising and training Afghan forces, and U.S. interagency
performance. The book's third section examines the lessons of wars
involving Russia, Israel, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Georgia, and
Colombia. It concludes by exploring overarching themes associated
with the conduct of recent wars. Containing a foreword by former
National Security Advisor Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster,
Learning the Lessons of Modern War is an indispensable resource for
international relations and security studies scholars,
policymakers, and military professionals.
