| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan has been the defining experience of conflict for many Western militaries, so it comes as no surprise that Out of the Mountains begins with an account of the author watching a patrol fight its way out of an ambush in a remote valley in Afghanistan. But, rather than projecting this experience as the future course of conflict, David Kilcullen argues that wars in mountainous, landlocked places such as Afghanistan will become increasingly rare. In the future, most conflicts will take place in the urban littoral because that is where most people live.
