MLTH 525 - Global War on Terrorism

Credit Hours: 3

This course examines the US and international military campaigns against global terrorism in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Attention is given to the historical origins of Islamic terrorism, and the rise of al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations, their ideologies, and their methods. The military campaigns in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom); Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom), and the Levant (Operation Inherent Resolve) will be examined, in a broader political-military context of state-building, counterinsurgency strategies, and counterterrorism efforts.
