The U. S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual
by John A. Nagl David H. Petraeus James F. Amos Sarah SewallWhen the U.S. military invaded Iraq, it lacked a common understanding of the problems inherent in counterinsurgency campaigns. It had neither studied them, nor developed doctrine and tactics to deal with them. It is fair to say that in 2003, most Army officers knew more about the U.S. Civil War than they did about counterinsurgency. The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counter-intuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction. An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine. An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism,The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come.

U.S. Defense Politics: The Origins of Security Policy
by Harvey M. Sapolsky Eugene Gholz Caitlin TalmadgeThis new textbook explains how US defence and national security policy is formulated and conducted. Harvey Sapolsky and Eugene Gholz focus on the role of the President, Congress, political partisans, the defence industries, lobbies, and interest groups, including the military itself, in shaping policies. The book examines the following key themes: US grand strategy who joins America's military how and why weapons are bought the management of defence public attitudes toward the military and casualties the roles of the President and the Congress in controlling the military the effects of 9/11 on security policy, homeland security, government reorganizations, and intra- and inter-service relations. In addition to these core descriptive and analytical themes, the authors emphasize the process of defence policy-making rather than just the outcomes of that processa? a departure from the style of many existing textbooks. US Defense Policy and National Security will be essential reading for students of national security, US defence politics, and US public policy courses, and recommended for students of foreign policy, international security and political science.
