Instead, he argues in this timely book, that we must be prepared to adapt tactics to each conflict, or lose the ability to protect ourselves and our way of life.¿́¿ From Iraq to the Balkans, and from Afghanistan to Chechnya, Smith charts a stream of armed interventions that have failed to deliver on promises of resolution. He demonstrates why today's conflicts must be understood as intertwined political and military events. He makes clear why the current onesize-fits-all model of total war, fought out on battlefields, that politicians still cling to must be abandoned in favour of new strategies that take into account the fact that wars are now fought among civilian populations. And he offers a compelling new model for how to fight these battles - and secure our world.-- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition - STAGE I: OCT to CPT 1 & 1WO-2WO War no longer exists, writes General Sir Rupert Smith, powerfully reminding us that the clash of mass national armies - the system of war since Napoleon will never occur again.
