America has been at war for most of the 20th and 21st centuries and
during that time has progressively moved towards a vicarious form
of warfare, where key tasks are delegated to proxies, the
military's exposure to danger is limited, and special forces and
covert instruments are on the increase. Important strategic
decisions are taken with minimal scrutiny or public engagement.
This compelling account charts the historical emergence of this
distinctive tradition of war and explains the factors driving its
contemporary prominence. It contrasts the tactical advantages of
vicarious warfare with its hidden costs and potential to cause
significant strategic harm.
