A prominent national security analyst provides a critical examination of the origins, objectives, conduct, and consequences of the U.S. war against Iraq in this major new study.

As he looks at the political and strategic legacies of the 1991 Gulf War, the impact of 9/11 and neo-conservative ideology on the George W.

For all the countless books the Vietnam War has inspired--the anguished analysis, revised history, and blow-by-blow reports--no consensus has even been reached on precisely who, or what, is to blame for America’s failure in Southeast Asia. The antiwar movement, the media, Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, Congress, and staunch military hawks have all been implicated in the defeat, but a commonly accepted explanation (or scapegoat) remains elusive. Jeffrey Record may not provide the final, binding word on Vietnam, but in The Wrong War, he is prepared to place blame squarely on t

Beating Goliath examines the phenomenon of victories by the weak over the strong—more specifically, insurgencies that succeeded against great powers. Jeffrey Record reviews eleven insurgent wars from 1775 to the present and determines why the seemingly weaker side won. He concludes that external assistance correlates more consistently with insurgent success than any other explanation. He does not disparage the critical importance of will, strategy, and strong-side regime type or suggest that external assistance guarantees success. Indeed, in all cases, some combination of these factors is us
