{"product_id":"washingtons-war-michael-rose-9781605980355","title":"Washington's War: The American War of Independence to the Iraqi Insurgency","description":"Retired General Sir Michael Rose, a former United Nations commander and counter-insurgency expert, examines two wars, more than 200 years apart, to demonstrate the unsettling parallels between two small groups of determined insurgents who were determined to defeat a superpower. While acknowledging the obvious differences between the American Revolution and the current situation in Iraq, there are a number of striking military similarities, most notably the failure of the British in 1783 and the Americans today to resolve the dilemma of counter-insurgency warfare: how to isolate and defeat the enemy without alienating the local population.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1605980358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781605980355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 5.19w x 0.63d","brand":"Michael Rose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938683551999,"sku":"9781605980355","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c73a5bed-c085-44cf-820c-fa1d510391fb.jpg?v=1681437136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/washingtons-war-michael-rose-9781605980355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
