Description

This provocative book seeks to answer a most crucial―and embarrassing―question concerning the U.S. military: why the United States is so often stymied in military confrontations with seemingly weaker opponents, despite its "superpower" status.


Interviews and data drawn from the author's personal experiences as a U.S. Army officer

Six case study chapters on U.S. conflicts where military superiority alone was not the decisive factor in the outcome (the Philippines, World War II, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Afghanistan)
