The Profession by Steven Pressfield
Tequila Junction: 4th Generation Counterinsurgency by H. John Poole
Steve’s novel The Profession I have mentioned previously, but I confess that I am puzzled by the choice of book jacket on Tequila Junction, which looks somewhat like a children’s illustrated guide to COIN in 1980’s El Salvador. H. John Poole is a respected veteran and tactical expert and Tequila Junction carries the warm endorsements of General Anthony Zinni and William Lind. Maybe his grandson drew it? Odd.
In any event, small unit tactics are not a subject I pretend to know much about, so it will remedy a gap in my knowledge base.
