The challenge of counterinsurgency
On this America Abroad, we examine the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how American troops are being trained to counter this emerging threat. The program also looks back at the history of US counterinsurgency efforts, from the Philippines to Vietnam, and explores America's efforts to support El Salvador during its war against Marxist guerillas in the 1980's. Segment 1: Ray Suarez examines the US military's response to the threat of insurgency with two leading high-ranking generals. Segment 2: Garrick Utley narrates an archival audio tour of the history of US counterinsurgency efforts, from the Philippines to Vietnam. Segment 3: Steve Roberts looks back at US efforts to support El Salvador in its war against Marxist guerillas in the 1980s. Segment 4: Marvin Kalb is joined by Kojo Nnamdi of WAMU 88.5 to moderate a special town hall event in Washington, DC on US counterinsurgency efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. - from program website
