Counterinsurgency Reconsidered
Command
This book is about military command and its transformation. Specifically, it explores the revival of the division as a formation in war and the role played by the commander in this resurrected unit. The subject of the division sounds slightly dry and dusty, but nothing could be further from the truth. Although the military forms the principal focus of the book, it also provides a medium through which Anthony King explores how political change in …
Technology, war and the state
War made the state, and the state made war, but does this statement hold true today? Will it apply in the future? The consensus is that the absence of major war within the western world, post 1945, did cause the war-state relationship to change, but each became significantly less important to the other. This article argues that the relationship was closer and deeper than has been assumed. It proposes that the peculiar strategic conditions created…

The United Kingdom and the War on Terror
The United Kingdom has fought various iterations of terrorism for the better part of 100 years. In the aftermath of 9/11, the British believed that its previous experience provided it with a solid foundation upon which to develop a counterterrorist strategy to tackle this new threat. In spite of this experience, the fortunes of the United Kingdom in the current war on terror have deteriorated. This is most obvious in Iraq, where British efforts t…
Examining the Application of British Counterinsurgency Doctrine by the American Army in Iraq
This paper examines how and why the American military helped create and exacerbate the current insurgency in Iraq and the actions it has taken since summer 2004 to address perceived operational and tactical errors. Of key importance in this process of reform were the influence of the British and their articulation of a plan which has exerted a strong influence on subsequent political and military operations within Iraq. Whilst the paper generally…
Operations in a War Zone
Operation ‘enduring freedom’
The track record of the US military in unconventional wars has not been good and there were fears that Operation 'Enduring Freedom' might suffer the same fate as previous campaigns. This contribution explores why the Taliban were defeated so easily by the US in 2001. It challenges the view that America's victory was due solely to changes in its modus operandi or that the outcome heralds a change in the fortunes of the US when fighting unconventio…
