Informationen zum Autor Robert Johnson is the Director of the Oxford Changing Character of War Program, and Senior Research Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford University. Has a PhD on the Strategic Defense of India and British Intelligence in the Great Game from the University of Exeter. A former Army Officer, he became a lecturer in the History of War at Oxford in 2008. He is the author of a number of publications, including The Afghan Way of War (2011) and The Great War in the Middle East (2016). Klappentext Within the last decade, the Iraqi Army and the Afghan National Army brought together local fighters, militias, and former insurgents among other auxiliaries to create their local armed forces. While this aided in establishing a sense of security, it also created the risk of an over-empowered local military. Robert Johnson seeks to address these concerns with in-depth look at colonial and post-colonial auxiliaries.
