About this product

Product Information

This insightful book from two combat experts provides an important critical commentary of the U.S. military's strategy including nation-building efforts and counterinsurgency operations. Authors Bolgiano and Patterson cover the background of the law of war and analyse how these laws have and should be applied. They argue that misinterpretations of law and policy misdirect the military from the objective of achieving victory. Fighting Today's War identifies correctable problems in how America decides to go to war and prepares for battle whilst giving positive solutions for restoring the proper role of America's Armed Force. This book is a fascinating exploration of the use and misuse of the military in modern warfare.
