With America's War on Terror and the subsequent democracy
experiments in Afghanistan and Iraq having turned into geopolitical
disasters, the US military campaign in alliance with the Kurdish
forces in Syria is one of the few success stories. Military experts
and politicians in Washington, DC, judge the intervention against
ISIS in Syria as the nation's most successful campaign since WWII,
based on the overwhelming military victory, the functioning Kurdish
civilian governing structures that followed the fighting, the
extremely light military footprint and the strong link to Kurdish
partners many political analysts. However, since neither these
experts nor many journalists were on the ground during the
fighting, they struggle to explain exactly how this particular
operation turned into a just war. The authors, however, were there.
Between the three of them, they fought for over two years with the
Kurdish forces. They participated in all the large Kurdish
operations against the Islamic State between late 2014 and
mid-2016. The endured a muddy archaic trench warfare, witnessed the
first waves of decisive US and British airstrikes against ISIS, and
experienced the impact America had on the battlefield. Later, when
American, British and French Special Forces were deployed at the
frontlines, the authors worked closely with those teams when they
evacuated hundreds of wounded from the battlefield together. Based
on the authors' unique insights, this book analyses America's war
in Syria and structures the intervention into different phases
including the secretive build up and the ultimate destruction of
the ISIS Caliphate.
