Bullets Bombs And Bystanders by Aaron W Clark, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the difficulties modern militaries have when confronting insurgencies. As a product of history, modern Western militaries focus conventional efforts on achieving decisive victory by applying maximum force to an enemy's center of gravity. Unfortunately, in a counterinsurgency operation this model rarely works. Much of the reason for this is that as government forces focus efforts on insurgent forces, they tend to forget the plight of the civilian populous. As collateral damage increases, the civilian populous is forced to choose between an insurgency that is threatening them and a government that is killing them. | Bullets Bombs And Bystanders by Aaron W Clark, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
