Publisher's Synopsis
Today, the United States finds itself embroiled in counterinsurgency operations with multiple manifestations and broad implications. The resurgence of radical Islam and its use of terrorism to subvert and overthrow established governments to reshape society in its own image is but one of these manifestations. Other manifestations include ultra-nationalist militants seeking political autonomy within existing states and the use of violence and illicit narcotics trafficking to subvert or overthrow legitimate governments.
