Pathological Counterinsurgency: How Flawed Thinking about Elections Leads to Counterinsurgency Failure

by Samuel R. Greene

This book examines expectations that elections will lead to counterinsurgency success through close analysis of four cases where governments were supported by the United States: Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Such expectations are unfounded, and contributed to a flawed counterinsurgency strategy by the United States.
