- This book is the first examination of the smaller, neglected fronts of the United States’ ‘war on terror’ in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Philippines, and Georgia from late 2001-2016. It argues that these regions were the testing grounds for the development of ‘Irregular Warfare’ – an approach largely absent from US national security since Vietnam. This focus on non-traditional military capabilities was part of a broader project to develop “full spectrum dominance,” from conventional military conflict through to Irregular Warfare. It draws on over 200 documents released through the US Freedom of Information Act and hundreds of previously unpublished unclassified documents.
