| General note | In Superpowers Defeated: Vietnam and Afghanistan Compared, Douglas A. Borer examines the parallel military interventions of the United States in Vietnam and the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Through a comparative analysis, Borer explores how two global superpowers, despite their overwhelming military capabilities, failed to achieve their strategic objectives against smaller, determined insurgent forces. The book delves into the political, cultural, and military factors that contributed to these defeats, offering insights into the limits of conventional power in asymmetric warfare. |
