SWJ: Casebooks on Insurgency
This looks to be an invaluable resource. From SWJ:
Casebooks on Insurgency and Revolutionary Warfare
US Army Special Operations Command and Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory National Security Analysis Department have put together a useful reference for small wars students and practitioners entitled “Casebook on Insurgency and Revolutionary Warfare Volume II: 1962-2009.” The resource is available for download in PDF format here. If you are wondering where Volume I is, that government document covers post-World War I insurgencies and revolutions up to 1962 and can be downloaded in PDF here. The original was published by the Special Operations Research Office at The American University in 1962.
Volume II is broken down by conceptual categories as can be seen by the table of contents….

Zenster, I’m not so busy, but I am writing other things offline instead. I don’t have time for both. It’s either/or and that just SUCKS.

And I swear, I don’t just rip her off. I think of some of the same things on my own, but she writes better than me so I cut and paste.

The internet is an interesting sorting mechanism, the way it brings like minds together, eh?

I mean, I’m reading Small Wars Journal, I look at the Twitter feed, the editor Peter Munson has linked something about Ernest Borgnine (RIP) and Marty, and I love that movie. Who else these days loves those old black-and-whites.

It’s weird. Why would reading about Small Wars mean that the taste in arts should sometimes overlap? Same thing used to happen with Carl Prine’s blog (feel better!!!!) and Lex and you and Charles and J. Scott and those Inkspots kids. So interesting.
