Riassunto

This book argues that one major reason for America’s propensity to “lose the peace” is due to the way the nation defines war and how the U.S. military is currently organized for warfare.  Iraq is just the latest, albeit the most tragic, case of the paradoxical flaw in national political thought.  The author offers new propositions and operational approaches to war-planning that, in challenging the current western societal military lexicon and doctrine, offer new hope and practical solutions to overcoming the paradox of the American Way of War.
