Synopsis

During the past few years the United States has been at war in many parts of the world. No soldiers are deployed in the conventional sense; no authorization has been passed by Congress. Yet in Central America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa the USA has been increasingly engaged in counter-insurgency, pro-insurgency and antiterrorist campaigns - wars not defined as war. The nine contributors to this book look at the nature and future of American war-fighting capabilities as they are re-oriented towards unconventional conflicts in the Third World - what the Pentagon calls "low intensity warfare. They look at Nicaragua, Afghanistan and the Philippines as well as speculating on the scenes of future conflicts.
