Sobre IBD

Strategist Colin Gray offers a detailed comparison between the character of irregular warfare, insurgency in particular, and the principal enduring features of 'the American way.' He concludes that there is a serious mismatch between that 'way' and the kind of behavior that is most effective in countering irregular foes. The author poses the question, 'Can the American way of war adapt to a strategic threat context dominated by irregular enemies?' He suggests that the answer is 'perhaps, but only with difficulty.'
