Title
A Question of Command: Counterinsurgency from the Civil War to Iraq (Yale Library of Military History),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An argument for a dramatically different approach to counterinsurgency, based on a reinterpretation of the nature of counterinsurgency warfare.According to the prevailing view of counterinsurgency, the key to defeating insurgents is selecting methods that will win the peoples hearts and minds. The heartsandminds theory permeates not only most counterinsurgency books of the twentyfirst century but the U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual, the U.S. militarys foremost text on counterinsurgency. Mark Moyar assails this conventional wisdom, asserting that the key to counterinsurgency is selecting commanders who have superior leadership abilities. Whereas the heartsandminds school recommends allocating much labor and treasure to economic, social, and political reforms, Moyar advocates concentrating resources on security, civil administration, and leadership development.Moyar presents a wideranging history of counterinsurgency, from the Civil War and Reconstruction to Afghanistan and Iraq, that draws on the historical record and interviews with hundreds of counterinsurgency veterans, including top leaders in todays armed forces. Through a series of case studies, Moyar identifies the ten critical attributes of counterinsurgency leadership and reveals why these attributes have been much more prevalent in some organizations than others. He explains how the U.S. military and Americas allies in Afghanistan and Iraq should revamp their personnel systems in order to elevate more individuals with those attributes.A Question of Command will reshape the study and practice of counterinsurgency warfare. With counterinsurgency now one of the most pressing issues facing the United States, this book is a mustread for policymakers, military officers, and citizens.
