In theoretical terms, special operations and their strategic impact as the fourth dimension of warfare have not been well understood. James Kiras, assistant professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, Maxwell Air Force Base, has addressed this gap for the benefit of both the members of the profession of arms and students of warfare.
As the title suggests, Dr. Kiras ventures into the domain of strategic theory as it relates to the role of special operations forces SOF. The strategic role of special operations forces is frequently poorly understood, and this book demonstrates, through case studies, how SOF can be employed to strategic effect, especially through the use of attritional operations at the strategic level.
Special Operations and Strategies of Attrition
There is a dearth of strategic literature on this subject, and Dr. Kiras provides a timely and relevant study that is both academically sound and intellectually provocative. He walks the reader through his analysis, emphasizing that military and academic communities have ignored or not fully understood the strategic relevance and impact of special operations forces and special operations.
This analytical failure to fully comprehend the impact and import of special operations within the context of the strategic realm has been responsible, in some cases, for the misuse of these strategic assets.

Kiras offers the first comprehensive theory of Special Operations and evaluates the strategic significance of these operations in several excellent case studies.
