Pathological Counterinsurgency

How Flawed Thinking about Elections Leads to Counterinsurgency Failure

• Gebundenes Buch

This book examines expectations that elections will lead to counterinsurgency success through close analysis of four cases where governments were supported by the United States: Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such expectations are unfounded, and contributed to a flawed counterinsurgency strategy by the United States.
