In Waging Modern War , General Wesley K. Clark recounts his
experience leading NATO's forces to a hard-fought and ultimately
successful victory in Kosovo in 1999. As the American military
machine has swung into action in the months following the attacks
on the World Trade centre and the Pentagon, it has become clear
that the lessons of Kosovo are directly applicable to the war
against terrorism and the nations that sponsor it. The problems
posed, and overcome, in the war in Kosovo-how to fight an air war
against unconventional forces in rough terrain and how to
coordinate U.S. objectives with those of other nations-are the
problems that America increasingly faces in the today's world. As
the Los Angeles Times noted in late September of 2001, this book's
"lessons are highly relevant now, . We need to think about exactly
what steps will lessen, rather than increase, the terrorist threat.
And we also need innovative commanders willing to improvise to meet
a new kind of threat, more determined political leadership, a more
flexible outlook in the Pentagon, . Gen. Clark has performed
another service by highlighting these problems at a crucial moment
in American history." Waging Modern War is history, memoir,
guidebook, and forecast, essential reading for those who want to
know how modern war is fought, and won.
