Foreign Military Intervention - The Dynamics of Protracted Conflict

Foreign Military Intervention brings together prominent scholars in an ambitious and innovative comparative study. The six case studies -the United States in Vietnam, the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Syria in Lebanon, Israel in Lebanon, South Africa and Cuba in Angola, and India in Sri Lanka- constitute a diverse set, involving superpowers and regional powers, democracies and non-democracies, neighboring states and distant states, and incumbent regimes and insurgent movements.
