"The Case Against Military Intervention: Why We Do It and Why It Fails" by Donald Snow, delves into the complex history of U.S. military interventions in developing world internal conflicts (DWIC) since World War II. The book meticulously examines the reasons behind these interventions and analyzes their persistent failure, using case studies from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Snow explores the underlying motivations driving these interventions, such as strategic interests, ideological commitments, and domestic political pressures. He meticulously dissects the multifaceted challenges inherent in such interventions, including cultural misunderstandings, logistical complexities, and the unintended consequences that often exacerbate the conflicts they aim to resolve. Drawing upon historical evidence and theoretical frameworks, the book critically evaluates the effectiveness of military interventions in achieving their objectives. It argues that the inherent complexities of DWICs, combined with the limitations of military solutions, often lead to counterproductive outcomes, prolonging violence and perpetuating instability. This comprehensive analysis offers valuable insights into the limitations of military intervention and its detrimental impact on both the intervened countries and U.S. foreign policy.
