<br/><br/> Following a discussion of what strategy is this book presents examples showing how the lack of strategy resulted in powerful countries failing to achieve their objectives against apparently much weaker adversaries. The examples are France in the Algerian uprising, Britain against insurgents in Cyprus, the USA in Vietnam, and U.S. led counterinsurgency in the Iraq War. The concluding chapter considers what is required to create an effective counterinsurgency strategy.
