This insightful work by Lieutenant Colonel David J. Dean offers a comprehensive analysis of the United States Air Force’s role in low-intensity conflicts, a term that emerged during the Cold War era to describe the spectrum of military operations short of conventional warfare. Published in 1986, at a time when the United States was deeply involved in counterinsurgency efforts in Central America and the Middle East, this book provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolving nature of modern warfare and the challenges faced by air power in asymmetric conflicts. Dean’s expertise as an Air Force officer lends credibility to his assessment of the strategic and tactical considerations involved in employing air assets in unconventional operations, making this a must-read for military historians, strategists, and anyone interested in the changing dynamics of 20th-century warfare.
