In March 2006, President George W. Bush signed a new National Security Strategy that he refers to as a "wartime national security strategy" and states that to follow the path the United States has chosen, we must "maintain and expand our national strength." One way to do this is to study and propose solutions to the complex challenges the United States faces in the 21st century. At the U. S. Army War College, the students have embraced this challenge and spend a year developing their intellectual strength in areas that extend well beyond the familiar operational and tactical realm to which they are accustomed. This collection of essays written by students enrolled in the U. S. Army War College Advanced Strategic Art Program (ASAP) reflects the development of their strategic thought applied to a wide range of contemporary issues based in theory, doctrine, strategy and history. | Strategic Challenges For Counterinsurgency And The Global War On Terrorism by Williamson Murray, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
