The goal was simple: teach Marines to interact successfully with the local population in areas of conflict. The implications, however, were anything but simple: transform an elite military culture founded on the principles of \"locate, close with, and destroy the enemy\" into a \"culturally savvy\" Marine Corps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture in Conflict: Irregular Warfare, Culture Policy, and the Marine Corps\u003c\/i\u003e examines the conflicted trajectory of the Marine Corps' efforts to institute a radical culture policy into a military organization that is structured and trained to fight conventional wars. More importantly, however, it is a compelling book about America's shifting military identity in a new world of unconventional warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Holmes-Eber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804789509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804789509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Security Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.36w x 0.80d","brand":"Paula Holmes-Eber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199056531711,"sku":"9780804789509","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f689ae21-87cc-4a33-a63a-ef2fb361288d.jpg?v=1727924903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-in-conflict-paula-holmes-eber-9780804789509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
