[T]he book is a scholarly and thought-provoking work that deserves to be read by anyone wishing to study counterinsurgency doctrine's past and its future prospects as a tool in the military and foreign policy arsenal of the United States.--Andrew J. Birtle "<i>Army History Magazine</i>"<br><br>Among the many notable works on the legacy of Vietnam, the decline and resurgence of counterinsurgency doctrine, and the conduct of the Iraq-Afghanistan wars, Fitzgerald's is exemplary. It is a masterful work of research, of synthesis and original analysis, and of clear and insightful writing. --Brian McAllister Linn, Texas A&M University; author of <i>The Philippine War, 1899-1902</i><br><br>An excellent study that takes a hard look at America's longest and possibly darkest military shadow.--Antulio J.
