Editorial Reviews

European Coordinator of West-West Agenda, an American-European political and security circle, Leech examines the history of modern warfare and its limitations from the perspective the US and Europe. He argues that The West can no longer squander costly armory in conflicts that more often need crowd control and the tools of intelligence and policing, but must focus instead on preventing conflict and bending the will of its adversaries without crippling itself in waging war.
