Waging Modern War: Bosnia, Kosovo, and the Future of Conflict

General Wesley K. Clark recounts his experience leading NATO's forces to a hard-fought and ultimately successful victory in Kosovo in 1999. As the American military machine swung into action in the months following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it became clear that the lessons of Kosovo are directly applicable to the war against terrorism and the nations that sponsor it. The problems posed, and overcome, in the war in Kosovo - how to fight an air war against unconventional forces in rough terrain and how to co-ordinate US objectives with those of other nations - are the problems that America increasingly faces in the modern world. This text is history, memoir, guidebook and forecast for those who want to know how modern war is fought and won.
