Description

Explore the complex history and mechanics of U.S. pro-insurgency paramilitary operations (PMOs) with this detailed analysis from MACMILLAN. This book examines U.S. proxy warfare from the start of the Cold War through to the present day. It provides a deep look into why many of these strategic efforts fail to meet their intended goals or result in negative consequences that outweigh their initial benefits. Readers will gain a clear understanding of how PMOs function and the historical context that shapes them. The text addresses the difficult dilemmas regarding secrecy and accountability, while also investigating critical issues such as control, criminal conduct, and the disposal of proxies. By studying these past and current operations, you can better understand the challenges of modern proxy warfare and the new developments that may change the landscape of paramilitary operations in the future.
