Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Oct 23, 2011 - Institute for t...“The Institute for the Study of War is indispensible. It is impossible to discuss our current involvement in matters of war and peace without reference to ISW’s consistently outstanding, independent analysis.”
- Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Congressman Thomas Rooney, U.S. House of Representatives (R-FL 16)
Oct 23, 2011 - Institute for t...“When I receive a briefing from scholars at ISW, I really feel like I’m being presented with all of the facts and evidence and I can draw my own conclusion from there…ISW’s work allows me to go back to my constituents and explains to them in the best possible way how we are moving forward in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
- Congressman Thomas Rooney, U.S. House of Representatives (R-FL 16)
Robert “Bud” McFarlane, Former National Security Advisor, 1983-1985
Oct 23, 2011 - Institute for t...“I think the most compelling evidence of why ISW is so highly regarded is in the writing. When you read a report from ISW, it covers everything, it documents it, and it bases it on interviews at every level, from the four-star level down to the soldier or airman in the field. And they put it in a context of what historically has worked and hasn’t, and how what we’re doing today compares to what has been done in other theaters….They have it all together. They’re the best.”
- Robert “Bud” McFarlane, Former National Security Advisor, 1983-1985
Max Boot, Council on Foreign Relations
Oct 23, 2011 - Institute for t...“I think the great value of the Institute for the Study of War is that it really takes the perspective of the battlefield fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq and brings it to Washington for policymakers, and it puts it all together in a way that even the troops on the ground themselves are not always able to do because they’re really focused on the fight in front of them. And that’s something that ISW is able to do incredibly effectively – to translate what’s [happening] on the battlefield into big-picture thinking that could influence the public and the policy community in Washington.”
