Hybrid warfare has been an integral part of the historical
landscape since the ancient world, but only recently have analysts
- incorrectly - categorised these conflicts as unique. Great powers
throughout history have confronted opponents who used a combination
of regular and irregular forces to negate the advantage of the
great powers' superior conventional military strength. As this
study shows, hybrid wars are labour-intensive and long-term
affairs; they are difficult struggles that defy the domestic logic
of opinion polls and election cycles. Hybrid wars are also the most
likely conflicts of the twenty-first century, as competitors use
hybrid forces to wear down America's military capabilities in
extended campaigns of exhaustion. Nine historical examples of
hybrid warfare, from ancient Rome to the modern world, provide
readers with context by clarifying the various aspects of conflicts
and examining how great powers have dealt with them in the past.
