Intellectuals often underestimate books like this. Mr. Clark isn't a thumb- sucking pundit: He is an extremely ambitious, sharp-elbowed man who has a passionately felt vision for the American future that he aches to put into practice.-Wall Street Journal
A poco più di due anni dagli attentati alle Twin Towers e nell'immediato dopo-guerra in Afghanistan e in Iraq, il Generale Wesley Clark, è oggi un fervido oppositore della politica estera, e interna, dell'attuale amministrazione Bush. In "Vincere le guerre moderne", Clark analizza in dettaglio l'operazione 'Iraqi Freedom', svelando i retroscena e le reali motivazioni della strategia antiterrorismo degli Stati Uniti. L'enorme potenziale e le contraddizioni della guerra moderna sono raccontate da colui che alla fine degli anni '90, alla guida delle truppe NATO, è stato il vincitore in Kosovo.
In this revised memoir, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Clark provides an insider's perspective on contemporary warfare, from the Kosovo victory in 1999 to the war on terrorism. His account serves as both a personal narrative and a guide for understanding modern military strategies. Includes photos.
