Through history armies of occupation and civil power have been repeatedly faced with the challenges of insurgency. US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan has highlighted this form of conflict in the modern world. Armies, sometimes reluctantly, have had to adopt new doctrines and tactics to deal with the problems of insurgency and diverse counterinsurgency strategies have been developed. These have ranged from conventional military operations to a combination of military and political strategy including propaganda, Psy-Ops, and other approaches. In Counterinsurgency in Modern Warfare 13 contributors examine developments in counterinsurgency from the early 20th century to the present. Each author, an expert in his field, discusses in depth the conduct and outcomes of operations across the globe, including the Arab-Israeli conflict, Afghanistan and Iraq, and draws out the lessons to be learned from them

Korejská válka byla významným přelomovým bodem ve studené válce. Tato kniha vysvětluje, jak obrovský vliv měl konflikt, odehrávající se na malém poloostrově ve východní Asii, na celý systém mezinárodních vztahů a na rovnováhu sil mezi dvěma světovými supervelmocemi - Spojenými státy a Sovětským svazem. Západní svět v průběhu konfliktu demonstroval své odhodlání čelit komunistické agresi. Byl to jediný případ za celé období studené války, kdy se ozbrojené síly Čínské lidové republiky, Sovětského svazu a Spojených státu střetly v přímém boji.
