Outmaneuvered

From a renowned military historian, this book examines why the United States has often struggled in irregular and complex warfare since Vietnam, despite its military dominance. Warren attributes much of this difficulty not only to conventional military tactics but also to strategic misjudgments at the highest levels of government, including overestimations of U.S. capabilities and misunderstood foreign contexts. The author critically explores how political decisions and military leadership have contributed to prolonged conflicts like those in Afghanistan and Iraq, and suggests the need for a more nuanced approach to foreign policy and warfare.
