Counterinsurgency: Exposing the Myths of the New Way of War
Porch, Douglas (Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California)
Douglas Porch's sweeping history of counterinsurgency campaigns, ranging from nineteenth-century colonial conquests to General Petraeus' 'Surge' in Iraq, challenges the contemporary mythologising of counterinsurgency as a humane way of war. The reality, he reveals, is that 'hearts and minds' has never been a recipe for lasting stability.
