Based on case studies this book, by a serving U.S. officer, presents an analysis of the development of American military doctrine on low intensity conflict. Concludes that the military appears not to have learned as much as it should have from experiences in Vietnam, El Salvador, and in anti-drugs activities in South America. Attempts to explain what prevented the Army from learning and how this block can be removed to avoid making the same mistakes in future LICs.
