  • The Real 'Long War'
    Geoffrey Till / Strategic Studies Institute / U. S. Army War College / U.S. Army War College / USArmy War College
    The 21st century has seen the growth of a number of nontraditional threats to the international stability on which trade, and thus U.S. peace and security, depends, and for the moment at least a reduced likelihood of continental scale warfighting operations, and something of a de-emphasis on major involvement in counterinsurgency operations.
