Book Description:
|
The US has the most expensive and seemingly military forces in the world. Yet, since World War II its military success rate has been fairly meagre. Failures have been marked by the introduction of large numbers of conventional American ground troops, while successes have been characterized by the use of airpower, special operations forces, robust intelligence, and the use of indigenous ground troops.
