The Limits of U.S. Military Capability: Lessons from Vietnam and Iraq
ISBN: 9780801894725 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Political scientist James H. Lebovic establishes that the size, strength, flexibility, and adaptability of the U.S. military cannot ensure victory in asymmetrical conflicts. In The Limits of U.S. Military Capability, Lebovic shows how political and psychological factors trumped U.S. military superiority in Vietnam and Iraq, where inappropriate strategies, low stakes, and unrealistic goals mired the United States military in protracted, no-win conflicts. Lebovic contends that the United States is at a particular disadvantage when fighting a counterinsurgency without the... Political scientist James H.

ISBN: 9780415771443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This new study challenges the widely held view that many current US adversaries cannot be deterred, maintaining that deterrence is not a relic of the Cold War period and that it should shape US policies toward so-called 'rogue states' and terror groups. James Lebovic argues that deterrence principles continue to apply, and focuses upon the 'three pillars' of the Bush administration's national security policy:

Foregone Conclusions: U.S. Weapons Acquisition in the Post-Cold War Transition
ISBN: 9780367014926 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With the end of the Cold War and the erosion of the Soviet threat, the United States is reevaluating its defense policy and its acquisition of weapons. James Lebovic shows that, although current military missions are adapted to post-Cold War realities, the self-defeating bias of bureaucrats and military services toward Cold War weaponry is still prevalent. He examines the impact of this bias on the armed services as they assess threat, generate requirements, develop and change weapon concepts, set production rates, and engage in testing. The author asserts that bias compromises service...
