This monograph provides an analysis of Hizbollah's military behavior, examining its larger strategic intent for the campaign in southern Lebanon in 2006. The authors argue that many see future warfare as a matter of non-state actors employing irregular methods against western states, and that in this context, Hizbollah's 2006 campaign has received greater attention as a prominent example of a non-state actor fighting a westernized state. In particular, they state that critics of irregular-warfare transformation often cite the 2006 case as evidence that non-state actors can nevertheless wage conventional warfare in state-like ways.
