Summary

"The essays collected in this volume provide new perspectives on numerous military and nonmilitary aspects of Operation Inherent Resolve that will prove relevant for Air University faculty and students, military service members at all levels, policymakers, and interested civilian readers in America and abroad. It is hoped that this anthology will complement the works that already exist on airpower in Operation Inherent Resolve, provide greater detail on several issues that the comprehensive histories lack the space to consider in much depth, and spur further debate and inquiry about the diplomatic, political, and military issues raised by this important moment in the history of airpower and America's wars in the Middle East. We have worked to present essays from Air University faculty, students, and intellectual community concerning important issues and perspectives raised both by the broader political and diplomatic context and the military application of American airpower in Operation Inherent Resolve"-- Provided by publisher.
