S1 E25: Counterinsurgency (History Suite)

December 09, 2020 - 1 minute read


Dr. Caleb Karges and recent grad Josiah Popp discuss the topic of counterinsurgency. This is the final episode in the History Suite’s insurgency series. They discuss successful and failed counterinsurgencies over the last 70 years including situations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Algeria, Kenya, and Lebanon. We tie it in to present issues such as China and Pakistan. Some of the works we reference are James Mattis, Gil Merom, Frank Kitson, Gerard Chaliand, and Tiffany Tanner. They end by reflecting on Jesus and a liberal arts education. Also, listeners are encouraged to send questions, comments, thoughts, dank memes, and random musings to [email protected].
