This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the future of
US warfare, including its military practices and the domestic and
global challenges it faces. The need to undertake a comprehensive
analysis about the future of warfare for the US is more pressing
today than ever before. New technologies and adversaries, both old
and new, have the potential to revolutionize how wars are fought,
and it is imperative that policy makers, military planners, and
scholars engage with the latest analyses regarding these new
threats and weapon systems. The primary aim of this book is to
provide a clear and comprehensive depiction of the types of
conflict that the United States is likely to become involved with
in the future, as well as the methods of warfare that it may employ
within these struggles. While a number of scholarly books have
previously considered some of the potential features of US warfare
in the future, many of these writings are either outdated or have
limited their focus to just one or two of the main types of warfare
that may occur and omitted consideration of the others. This book
intends to remedy this deficiency in the literature. The volume
consists of thematic chapters which address the key issues relevant
to the future of US warfare, including cyber warfare, asymmetric
conflicts, drone warfare, and nuclear strategy. Through the
provision of a series of analyses by leading international
academics, the volume provides an important interdisciplinary
examination of the different areas of warfare that the United
States is expected to use or encounter in the future. This book
will be of great interest to students of US foreign policy,
military studies, strategic studies and International Relations in
general.

Tackling one of the most prevalent myths about insurgencies, this
book examines and rebuts the popular belief that Mao Zedong created
a fundamentally new form of warfare that transformed the nature of
modern insurgency. The labeling of an insurgent enemy as using
"Maoist Warfare" has been a common phenomenon since Mao's victory
over the Guomindang in 1949, from Malaya and Vietnam during the
Cold War to Afghanistan and Syria today. Yet, this practice is
heavily flawed. This book argues that Mao did not invent a new
breed of insurgency, failed to produce a coherent vision of how
insurgencies should be fought, and was not influential in his
impact upon subsequent insurgencies. Consequently, Mao's writings
cannot be used to generate meaningful insights for understanding
those insurgencies that came after him. This means that scholars
and policymakers should stop using Mao as a tool for understanding
insurgencies and as a straw man against whom to target
counterinsurgency strategies.
