This timely book has some answers. Drawing on decades of experience with counterinsurgency ~as a scholar, a strategist, and a military officer~ James S. Corum brings unique insight to the problems we face. His book offers a deeply informed, closely reasoned and~most valuably~ eminently sensible account of how circumstances and our actions (or inaction) have contributed to our present dilemma. With the lessons of recent history in clear view, Corum lays out a workable strategy for meeting the often~overlapping threat raised by terrorist groups and insurgents. Critical to understanding the nature of modern~day warfare, Fighting the War On Terror has broad implications for the future course of military, itelligence, and foreign policy making. No one with an interest in the nation's security can afford to overlook it.…
