Description

Losing Small Wars: British Military Failure in the 9/11 Wars by Frank Ledwidge is a thought-provoking analysis of Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. This updated edition explores the causes and consequences of military failure, shedding light on the lessons that continue to go unlearned. Ledwidge examines the broader context of British military performance since 2011, including recent conflicts in Libya and the ongoing struggle against ISIS. His work provides a nuanced understanding of the dysfunction within the British military and its impact on innocent civilians caught up in war. A valuable contribution to our understanding of modern conflict, this book offers insights into the complexities of military failure and its far-reaching consequences.
