Description
Book SynopsisMore than any other episode since the end of the Cold War, the conflict in Kosovo revealed the distinctive attributes of a American "way of war." This volume includes an overview of the war. It explores the conflict's relationship to US strategy, the Revolution in Military Affairs, and American civil-military relations, among other topics.
Trade ReviewBacevich and Cohen see important problems with [the military model in Kosovo]. Foreign Affairs The beauty of the book is its insightful analysis of the grand security strategy implications for the United States and the world...It is imperative that all military professionals internalize the book's conclusions. The analyses are prescient, complementary, and well supported. Study of the profession of arms demands that this wise work be included in any professional library. -- MAJ Michael A. WOrmley, USAF Military Review
