A terrific study on the way that cultural knowledge must play a role in combating an insurgency. The author offers four ways in which cultural knowledge helps define a strategic framework for counterinsurgency, and she describes how they apply today. A terrific little monograph.

Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. vii, [1], 30, [2] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "Culture has become something of a buzz word among America s national security leaders. Faced with an brutal civil war and insurgency in Iraq, the many complex political and social issues confronted by U.S. military commanders on the ground have given rise to a new awareness that a cultural understanding of an adversary society is imperative if counterinsurgency is to succeed. Sheila Miyoshi Jager received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Chicago. She is an Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at Oberlin College. She has published in numerous journals including, Journal of Asian Studies, New Literary History, Public Culture, positions: east Asia cultures critique and Japan Focus. The above information may not be current. It was current at the time when the individual worked for SSI or was published by SSI." Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
