Max Brooks
Editor’s note: MWI Non-Resident Fellow has gathered a wide collection of books that, together, assistance to conceptualize the many challenges posed yesteryear insurgencies. The books he has identified are below. Insurgencies, guerrilla warfare—whatever nosotros chose to telephone recall this type of violence, it is, yesteryear far the deadliest threat to those who serve inwards uniform. Since the middle of the lastly century, over a quarter of a meg Americans were killed or wounded inwards Vietnam, Iraq, together with Afghanistan. And those are only the large ones. As tragic equally these figures powerfulness be, an fifty-fifty deeper tragedy powerfulness live the forgotten lessons that could forestall futurity casualties.
Every fourth dimension America wades into a counterinsurgency, those on the Blue Planet pay, inwards blood, for priceless cognition inwards the fine art of how to fight. And yet, every time, that priceless cognition seems worthless when it comes to futurity study. The post–Vietnam retreat to the Fulda Gap left the post–9/11 military machine completely unprepared for Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan or Iraq. As a senior Republic of Iraq strategist told me, “I deployed amongst 2 duffle bags; i for my gear together with the other amongst books I had to read.” On the dependent of Afghanistan, an MWI colleague confessed, “We barely knew anything nigh the Soviet experience.” That sense is straight off almost old plenty to vote, together with yet, despite the nearly two-decade sense amongst counterinsurgency, the optic of strategic gravity is fifty-fifty now, shifting correct dorsum to conventional, set-piece combat.
What volition this amnesia hateful for America’s futurity warfighters when—not if, but when—they all of a abrupt honor themselves stuck inwards some other massive, messy, lethal insurgency? How many casualties volition live counted spell futurity strategists hurriedly dust off the lessons of the lastly 2 decades? When it comes to guerrilla warfare, America’s military machine tin forcefulness out no longer afford on-the-job training. At the really least, at that topographic point needs to live a collective repository for the lessons of guerrilla warfare. That is why the Modern War Institute has begun working to compile a novel COIN library.
The books on this listing vary greatly, from overall theory to scalpel-thin tactics. They also include unconventional subjects such equally communication, geography, together with psychological analyses. This listing is intended to live a seed for futurity submissions. Additional titles together with subjects are ever encouraged. All books listed below are available at the Modern War Institute library.

1. John Oller, The Swamp Fox: How Frances Marion Saved the American Revolution*
An unconventional human being fighting an unconventional war.

2. Mao Tse-Tung, Mao Tse-Tung on Protracted War
This is likely the most famous guerrilla of all time, together with given China’s ship on on the globe today, he’s without a dubiety the most influential.

3. Charles River Editors , Marshal Josip Broz Tito: The Life together with Legacy of Yugoslavia’s First President*
Mao may take away hold led the biggest guerrilla campaign, but Tito arguably led the best. Unlike Mao, who waited out the Japanese, Tito faced Hitler caput on.

4. Ernesto “Che Guevara, Guerrilla Warfare
Dilettante. Adventurer. Fraud. Che was all of those things. He liked the glamor of kicking over governments but never stuck around for the drudgery of edifice one.

The British Army, equally an establishment deserves its fair portion of praise for beingness opened upwards plenty to encompass an outlier similar Lawrence.
6. Junichi Saga, Confessions of a Yakuza
While non technically an insurgent, this twentieth-century Japanese gangster has a really prophetic chapter on his beginnings at the terminate of World War II.

9. Vo Nguyen Giap, The South Vietnamese People Will Win
The fact that this human being fought the US military machine to standstill should live plenty to seat him on this list. But what should brand Giap required reading is that he was non only a guerrilla fighter but an unparalleled sorcerer of the “grey zone.” While masterfully commanding both regular together with irregular military machine forces, he also managed to orchestrate a global, together with ultimately victorious, propaganda campaign.
10. H.K. Wachanga, The Swords of Kirinyaga
As a one-time Mau Mau, Wachanga outlines the anatomy of Britain’s victory inwards Kenya. Reading Wachanga’s honest, no-holds-barred line of piece of work organisation human relationship begs the question: What if nosotros had a database of first-person narratives from every guerrilla, victorious together with defeated, starting amongst the enquiry “In your opinion, what happened?”
1. David Galula, Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory together with Practice
One of the foremost theoreticians of COIN. Like Heinz Guderian amongst tanks or Karl Doenitz amongst submarines, Galula crystalized together with codified this “new” way of war.
2. David Petraeus, The U.S. Army-Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Manual*
This scholarly tome doesn’t only distil an sea of enquiry from various times together with places (the bibliography lonely is plenty to brand your caput spin).

The fact that this volume fifty-fifty exists proves that America’s guardians had the courage to modify course.
3. David Kilcullen, The Accidental Guerrilla*
One of the Jedi Masters of COIN, Killcullen lays out every aspect of the challenge. From the biggest to the smallest, from the overarching, geopolitical blowback of globalization to the scalpel focus of gaining an individual’s trust.

COIN at the tactical level. Short, sweet, together with packed amongst invaluable information, including twenty-eight fundamentals yesteryear David Kilcullen.
6. Matt Zeller, Watches Without Time*
No grand strategy. Just the story of a soldier inwards Afghanistan. For those of us who’ve never been over there, or worn the uniform, this volume has the potential to do for the “Long War” what Remarque did for the “Great War.”
7. David Hackworth, About Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior
This is what happens when nosotros don’t listen. Hackworth, who learned how to “out G the G” inwards the jungles of Vietnam was ignored, ostracized, together with eventually, forced to acquire out his foremost love, the US Army. What powerfulness take away hold happened if he had been taken seriously? Where would nosotros live today if his ideas had move doctrine?
8. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, Ashley’s War*
This is what happens when nosotros listen. America’s greatest strength has ever been its willingness to change.

9. Bernard B. Fall, Street Without Joy*
The story of France’s defeat inwards Southeast Asia. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 meticulously researched line of piece of work organisation human relationship of France’s lawsuit inwards Southeast Asia written inwards the early on to middle stages of America’s “long national nightmare.” There was no excuse to ignore this volume inwards the ‘60s together with there’s no excuse to ignore it now.
10. Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope*
Not the foremost guy you’d think of inwards a counterinsurgency setting, but his sense equally a community organizer inwards Chicago mirrors those of also many platoon leaders inwards Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan together with Iraq. When it comes to fighting corruption, bureaucracy, threats to personal security, together with an old guard threatened yesteryear change, the parallels are obvious. Reading Obama’s volume begs the enquiry of what other parallels are out at that topographic point inwards nonmilitary situations, together with what nosotros tin forcefulness out larn from them.
11. Robert M. Gates, Duty*
The memoir of a one-time SecDef. COIN from the top down. Gates talks nigh what it was similar to supersede Rumsfeld inwards the darkest days of Iraq/Afghanistan.

Counterinsurgents are going to demand to communicate effectively amongst a multifariousness of groups; from Congress, to the press, to the partners of a host country. Alda’s volume pulls on his run amongst the Center for Communicating Science, helping some of the world’s worst communicators (scientists) explicate their research. These methods tin forcefulness out run for anyone, together with they tin forcefulness out live equally valuable equally basic marksmanship.
2. Simon Baron-Cohen, The Science of Evil: On Empathy together with the Origins of Cruelty*
While most guerrillas powerfulness only live ordinary people caught upwards inwards extraordinary circumstances, at that topographic point is the occasional, genuine psychopath. This volume helps position those individuals who are genetically hardwired for malice. And non only those on the other side. At present, the US military machine has no psychological screening programme for novel recruits. This volume tin forcefulness out assistance modify that. Baron-Cohen’s methods tin forcefulness out live a critical foremost measuring inwards targeting both the irreconcilable terrorists nosotros confront equally good equally the potential massacre makers hiding inwards our midst.
3. Joseph T Hallinan, Kidding Ourselves: The Hidden Power of Self-Deception*
File nether “Grey Zone Information Warfare.” Hallinan’s volume is a report inwards majority psychology, specifically when it comes to majority delusion. Since America has inexplicably surrendered the fine art of messaging to our enemies, nosotros demand to start playing catch-up.
4. Moshin Hamid, The Reluctant Fundamentalist*
A novel of radicalization. The story walks us through how an educated, well-to-do, sensitive moderate eventually becomes a terrorist. Radicalization is i of the vexing issues of our time, together with spell this volume doesn’t take away hold all the answers, at to the lowest degree it puts a human confront on the questions.
5. Rosa Brooks, How Everything Became War together with The Military Became Everything*
File nether “The Big Picture.” Honest, societal soul searching. Brooks argues that, equally a country, nosotros take away hold degraded our populace institutions to such an extent that the lastly lifeboat of populace trust is the Department of Defense. That agency to a greater extent than responsibilities for an already overstretched military machine amongst a learning plication that wouldn’t be inwards whatever specialized civilian agency.
6. Robert D. Kaplan, The Revenge of Geography*
While it’s slow to think that engineering scientific discipline has “flattened” the world, Kaplan reminds us that nosotros soundless alive on a physically various planet.

This volume should serve equally some other lens for looking at whatever province going through an insurgency, live it an isle similar Sri Lanka, or a long, jungled strip similar Vietnam?
7. Malcolm Gladwell, David together with Goliath*
File nether “Duh!” Who doesn’t know that underdogs tin forcefulness out win, that supposed weakness tin forcefulness out live a strength? The greatest value of this volume may live the mention on the cover. Despite Gladwell’s trumpeting of David, he has move a societal Goliath. Today’s thinking degree loves to read together with quote his work. Bottom line, when trying to brand a instance to Washington suits, it powerfulness non wound to state “As Malcolm Gladwell shows…”
1. Jeremy Black, Insurgency together with Counterinsurgency: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Global History*
A wide survey of several dozen guerrilla wars going all the way dorsum to… well… the beginning. If you lot don’t know anything nigh COIN together with desire somewhere to begin, this is it. Black discusses philosophy, tactics, culture—pretty much everything you lot demand to know at foremost glance.
2. Daniel Moran, Wars of National Liberation
Another overall report inwards the vein of Jeremy Black. Unlike Black’s run however, Moran’s run is shorter, simpler, and, yes, illustrated. And don’t discount that lastly point. It’s i thing to read nigh a Haganah fighter, some other to encounter the actual Auschwitz tattoo on his arm. From Franco-Algerian civilians manning barricades to a Palestinian rebel throwing a nail-studded potato, these pictures seat the “heart“ inwards “hearts together with minds.”
3. Declan Power, The Siege of Jadotville
This is to a greater extent than than only an obscure story of Irish Gaelic United Nations peacekeepers caught upwards inwards the Congo’s civil war. It’s the story of hybrid warfare.

One floor deeper than Osprey, these are great intros to the pocket-size wars that followed the large wars. Some are also examples of what happens when nosotros acquire it right. The Aftermath: Europe together with The Aftermath: Asia are naught less than American land edifice at its really best. The lastly volume, The Rising Sun, is on this listing for i specific photo. It’s on page i inwards the chapter “A Doomed Way of Life.” It shows a Frenchman, inwards pristine colonial white, riding through a swamp, on the dorsum of a Vietnamese servant.
6. Peter Just, Social together with Cultural Anthropology: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 really curt introduction*

7. Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Study In The Popular Mind*
Okay, fair warning, this guy is definitely a production of his fourth dimension (he genuinely thought women were equally irrational equally children together with animals). However, Le Bon made a large ship on on the way leaders lead. He broke downwards how crowds think, act, together with tin forcefulness out live influenced. If used for practiced rather than evil (Mussolini was a large fan), Le Bon’s run tin forcefulness out live an of import property inwards the endeavour to win hearts together with minds.
8. James H. Willbanks, Thiet Giap! The Battle of An Loc, Apr 1972
Before at that topographic point was Mosul, at that topographic point was An Loc. Willbanks examines the scenario where Vietnamization worked, at to the lowest degree on the tactical level.

No dubiety the Iroquois Federation would accept number amongst this title, but the fact doesn’t modify that the Comanche land was a forcefulness to live reckoned with. Adaptation is the key to this story, specifically the introduction of horses. Embracing these novel animals, developing novel ways to utilize them, transformed this obscure southwestern land into some of the greatest cavalry warriors since the Mongols. What does that state for other novel tools together with what they powerfulness do for today’s obscure groups?
12. Alec Russell, Big Men, Little People: The Leaders Who Defined Africa
Sometimes you’re working amongst these guys, sometimes you’re against them. But COIN together with despots are unfortunately intertwined. This volume is a practiced cross department of African tyrants together with would-be tyrants.

13. Donald R. Morris, The Washing of the Spears
Little Big Horn’s got naught on Isandlwana. In this battle, the best Blue Planet forces inwards the world, armed amongst engineering scientific discipline centuries ahead of their foe, ended upwards beingness massacred to a man.

14. Adam Seftel, Uganda: The Bloodstained Pearl of Africa together with its Struggle for Peace
A classic instance of missed opportunity, of blowing that critical take away chances to terminate the wheel of violence. Can nosotros larn anything from this neglected, ravaged picayune country?

This volume details how the defeat of Mau Mau was conducted along civilian police push clit enforcement lines. Something to think nigh when nosotros hold off dorsum on the early on days of our “Global War on Terror.” Other books inwards the Africa@War serial include Biafra, Congo Unraveled, French Republic inwards Centrafrique, GreatLakes Holocaust, Zambezi Valley Insurgency, together with Somalia: US Intervention.
17. Annie Jacobson, The Pentagon’s Brain
The story of DARPA (and our obsession amongst technology). Jacobson goes into the pump of America’s existent life “Q”, the weapons, the programs, together with people who dearest them to death.

Just the department on McNamara’s Vietnam sensor fence should warn us against trying to solve human conflicts amongst machines.
18. Thi Bui, The Best We Could Do
A graphic memoir of a Vietnamese refugee. This is what ‘hearts together with minds’ is supposed to live about. One heart, i mind, together with a journeying of 3 generations.
