The book "Americans and Asymmetric Conflict: Lebanon, Somalia, and Afghanistan" by Dr. Amir Taheri offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by the United States in its military interventions in the Middle East and South Asia. The author argues that the US has failed to grasp the nature of asymmetric conflict and has instead relied on conventional military power to achieve its objectives. This approach has led to costly and bloody conflicts that have only exacerbated the problems facing these regions. The book begins by examining the history of US involvement in the Middle East and South Asia, from the Vietnam War to the present day. The author highlights how the US has consistently underestimated the resilience and adaptability of its enemies, leading to a series of misguided policies and strategies. He argues that the US has been unable to adapt to the changing nature of warfare, particularly the rise of non-state actors such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban. One of the key themes of the book is the need for the US to develop a personal paradigm for understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge.
Книга Амира Тахери «Американцы и асимметричный конфликт: Ливан, Сомали и Афганистан» предлагает всесторонний анализ проблем, с которыми сталкиваются Соединенные Штаты в своих военных интервенциях на Ближнем Востоке и в Южной Азии. Автор утверждает, что США не смогли понять природу асимметричного конфликта и вместо этого полагались на обычную военную мощь для достижения своих целей. Такой подход привел к дорогостоящим и кровавым конфликтам, которые лишь усугубили проблемы, стоящие перед этими регионами. Книга начинается с изучения истории участия США на Ближнем Востоке и в Южной Азии, от войны во Вьетнаме до наших дней. Автор подчеркивает, что США постоянно недооценивают устойчивость и адаптивность своих врагов, что приводит к серии ошибочных политик и стратегий. Он утверждает, что США не смогли приспособиться к меняющемуся характеру войны, особенно к росту негосударственных субъектов, таких как Аль-Каида и Талибан. Одна из ключевых тем книги - необходимость для США выработать личную парадигму понимания технологического процесса развития современных знаний.
Il libro di Amir Taheri «Americani e un conflitto asimmetrico: Libano, Somalia e Afghanistan» offre un'analisi completa dei problemi che gli Stati Uniti devono affrontare nei loro interventi militari in Medio Oriente e Asia meridionale. L'autore sostiene che gli Stati Uniti non sono riusciti a comprendere la natura del conflitto asimmetrico e invece si sono affidati alla solita potenza militare per raggiungere i loro obiettivi. Questo approccio ha portato a costosi e sanguinosi conflitti che non hanno fatto altro che peggiorare i problemi di queste regioni. Il libro inizia con la storia della partecipazione degli Stati Uniti in Medio Oriente e Asia meridionale, dalla guerra in Vietnam a oggi. L'autore sottolinea che gli Stati Uniti sottovalutano costantemente la resilienza e l'adattabilità dei propri nemici, portando a una serie di politiche e strategie sbagliate. Sostiene che gli Stati Uniti non sono stati in grado di adattarsi alla natura mutevole della guerra, in particolare alla crescita di attori non governativi come Al Qaeda e i talebani. Uno dei temi chiave del libro è la necessità per gli Stati Uniti di sviluppare un paradigma personale per comprendere il processo tecnologico di sviluppo della conoscenza moderna.
