During the past few years the United States has been at war in many parts of the world. No soldiers are deployed in the conventional sense; no authorization has been passed by Congress. Yet in Central America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa the USA has been increasingly engaged in counter-insurgency, pro-insurgency and antiterrorist campaigns - wars not defined as war. The nine contributors to this book look at the nature and future of American war-fighting capabilities as they are re-oriented towards unconventional conflicts in the Third World - what the Pentagon calls "low intensity warfare. They look at Nicaragua, Afghanistan and the Philippines as well as speculating on the scenes of future conflicts.

Inst. for Policy Studies

NOTE: This book is original edition. History is being made in U.S.-Cuban relations right now. This powerful book is essential to making sense of the new and ongoing steps towards normalization between the longtime antagonists. Challenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual hostility between the United States and Cuba--beyond invasions, covert operations, assassination plots using poison pens and exploding seashells, and a grinding economic embargo--Back Channel to Cuba chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward rapprochement and reconciliation. Since 1959, conflict and aggression have dominated the story of the United States and Cuba. Now, William M. LeoGrande and Peter Kornbluh present a remarkably new and relevant account. From John F. Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Fidel Castro after the missile crisis, to Henry Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Barack Obama's promise of a new approach, LeoGrande and Kornbluh reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, indicating a path toward a world beyond the legacy of hostility. LeoGrande and Kornbluh have uncovered hundreds of formerly secret U.S. documents and conducted interviews with dozens of negotiators, intermediaries, and policy makers, including Fidel Castro and Jimmy Carter. The authors describe how, despite the intense political clamor surrounding efforts to improve relations with Havana, serious negotiations have been conducted by every presidential administration since Eisenhower's through secret, back-channel diplomacy. Including ten critical lessons for U.S. negotiators, the book offers a key perspective on the normalization process underway and illuminates a fascinating passage in U.S.-Cuban relations as it happens.
