'Landpower in the Long War' provides a holistic account of the projection of landpower during the wars of post-9/11. Moving beyond the existing accounts of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the text includes vital chapters on socio-cultural and institutional factors that influence the power-projection of American landpower.
