Description
Sri Lanka's 26-year civil war ended with a decisive military victory in 2009, but the terms of that success remain unclear. Ahmed Hashim examines the final stage of the conflict and the counterinsurgency campaign that led to it. The Sri Lankan government's approach to combating the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is analysed in detail, including its military strategy and political context. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the conditions that give rise to insurgent violence and the challenges faced by nations seeking to adopt similar counterinsurgency tactics. Hashim's investigation offers a nuanced understanding of this complex conflict and its implications for international security and defence strategies.
