It examines the phenomenon of victories by the weak over the strong more specifically insurgencies that succeeded against great powers. It also examines the present insurgency in Iraq and whether the United States can win. The following chapter reviews about why the strong lose. Each of these explanations sheds much light on the phenomenon of beaten Goliaths but neither individually nor even in combination do they provide a completely satisfactory explanation.
