HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: GOING TO WAR WITH THE ALLIES YOU HAVE

From the Small Wars Council – I have to say this SSI monograph by Dr. Daniel Byman is well worth the time you will invest to read it. Byman reviews the difficulties of counterinsurgency warfare and counterterrrorism operations conducted through or in conjunction with client state security forces and evaluates most of the strengths and weaknesses of the “player” states in the War on Terror.

And it is free.
