Acknowledgments
When Counterinsurgency Wins is the first book to analyze the final campaign that won the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka in 2009. Ahmed Hashim traces the development of the counterinsurgency campaign from the early stages of the war to the later adaptations and military strategy that led to a decisive finish.
Ahmed S. Hashim is Associate Professor in Security Studies at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He is also author of several books, including Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency in Iraq.
"An in-depth, timely, and nuanced study of the campaign conducted
by the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan authorities. This hugely
important book offers insights into the nature of counterinsurgency
campaigns and provides a contemporary check-and-balance with the
emergent COIN doctrine practiced in Afghanistan."
