Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor page roughness on last page. viii, 57, [1] p. Endnotes. President Obama has outlined a comprehensive strategy for the war in Afghanistan which is was the central front of our campaign against Islamic terrorism. The strategy strongly connects our prosecution of that war to our policy in Pakistan and internal developments there as a condition of victory. Dr. Blank argues that a new approach, relying on improved coordination at home and more effective leveraging of our economic power in Central Asia to help stabilize the region so that it provides a secure rear to Afghanistan, is just as important. Dr. Stephen J. Blank served as the Strategic Studies Institute s expert on the Soviet bloc and the post-Soviet world since 1989. He has written articles and papers on Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Eastern European security issues. Dr. Blank s current research deals with proliferation and the revolution in military affairs, and energy and security in Eurasia. Dr. Blank holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
