The Army and Low Intensity Conflict
ISBN: 9781937592325 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the Cold War, given the threat of the Soviet military poised in Eastern Europe, the Army had to be able to wage armored warfare.

In this vein low intensity conflict was equivalent to an economy-of-force operation where our adversaries struck at us in our most vulnerable areas - terrorism, subversion, and insurgency. But, the challenge of low intensity conflict transcended the Cold War. The Soviets are gone, but the style of conflict remains: the security environment of the...
