Description: The French War on Al Qa'ida in Africa by Christopher S. Chivvis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book investigates Frances 2013 military intervention in Mali and its lessons for Americas fight against terrorist groups in Africa and worldwide. Its assessment of new anti-terrorist military strategy will be of use to those in the foreign policy and national security communities. Publisher Description In January 2013, France intervened in its former African colony, Mali, to stop an Al Qaida advance on the capital. French special forces, warplanes, and army units struck with rapid and unexpected force. Their intervention quickly repelled the jihadist advance and soon the terrorists had been chased from their safe haven in Malis desolate North - an impressive accomplishment. Although there have been many books on the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are almost none on the recent military interventions of Americas allies. Because it was quick, effective, and relatively low cost, the story contains valuable lessons for future strategy. Based on exclusive interviews with high-level civilian and military officials in Paris, Washington and Bamako, this book offers a fast-paced, concise, strategic overview of this war. As terrorist groups proliferate across North Africa, what France accomplished in Mali should be a key reference point for national security experts. Author Biography Christopher S.
