The British approach to counterinsurgency: "Hearts and minds" from Malaya to Afghanistan? / Paul Dixon -- Analysing British counterinsurgency -- Beyond hearts and minds? Perspectives on counterinsurgency / Paul Dixon -- Britain's Vietnam syndrome? Perspectives on British counterinsurgency, the media and public opinion / Paul Dixon -- Bringing it all back home? The militarisation of Britain and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars / Paul Dixon -- A feminist approach to British counterinsurgency / Claire Duncanson and Hilary Cornish -- Baha Mousa and the British Army in Iraq / Huw Bennett -- Case studies: Malaya to Afghanistan -- Using and abusing the past: the Malayan emergency as counterinsurgency paradigm / Karl Hack -- Dirty wars: counterinsurgency from Vietnam to Afghanistan / David Hunt -- "Hearts and minds"? British counterinsurgency strategy in Northern Ireland / Paul Dixon -- Counterinsurgency and human rights in Northern Ireland / Brice Dickson -- Counterinsurgency amid fragmentation: the British in southern Iraq / Glen Rangwala -- Countering the Afghan insurgency: three lessons learned / Sherard Cowper-Coles -- Conclusion: the military and British democracy / Paul Dixon.

The British 'hearts and minds' approach to counterinsurgency was credited with rare successes against insurgencies in Malaya (1948-60), Northern Ireland (1969-2007) and its widely admired approach to peacekeeping in the nineties. More recently, the British influenced the development of US counterinsurgency thinking on Iraq just as the British Army was perceived to be failing in Southern Iraq. Despite their attempt, the British military failed to restore their reputation by involvement in the 'good war' in Afghanistan. This timely and critical volume questions the effectiveness of Britain's 'hearts and minds' approach and challenges conventional counterinsurgency thinking by drawing on the expertise of regional and thematic specialists. Regional experts suggest that simplistic and over-optimistic lessons drawn from Britain's historical experiences in Malaya and Northern Ireland could not provide lessons for the complexities of Iraq and Afghanistan. Thematic specialists raise questions about the suitability of the military for 'humanitarian interventions' and the impact of these wars on domestic politics and society.
