U.S. Strategy Against Global Terrorism : How It Evolved, Why It Failed, and Where It is Headed /
Tan, A.author.
This book examines the various strategies, including Global Counterinsurgency (GCOIN), which have been put forward as alternatives to the Global War On Terror (GWOT), concluding that while a consensus can be found on the key elements of a grand strategy, based on failures in the GWOT, it is far from clear if any GCOIN strategy could work.
