Deterrence in Foreign Policy: Lessons from World War II
Featuring Victor Davis Hanson via PolicyEdLessons from history have clearly shown what happens when powerful nations do not show their might. During World War II, the Allied nations were far more powerful than the Axis powers, but their hesitancy in joining the war effort resulted in millions of deaths.

On the Road to Jihad:
The Role of Foreign Fighters in Irregular Warfare
By Andrew Milburn & Abigail Gage, Modern War Institute: "Foreign fighters play an influential role in Islamic extremist groups. They tend to be more violent, more committed, and more resistant to reconciliation than their indigenous counterparts. Perhaps most significantly, they tend to be more peripatetic—acting as vectors of extremism, moving between zones of conflict, and sometimes returning to their countries of origin to instigate acts of terrorism."
