A SUDDEN ATTACK OF BIBLIOMANIA!!!
Just ordered a handful of great books from Amazon, including:
Brave New War: The Next Stage of Terrorism and the End of Globalization
Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam
Medici Effect: What Elephants and Epidemics Can Teach Us About Innovation
Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means
I’ve already read Barabasi but I didn’t own a copy; the others I’m looking forward to reading soon.

A Nagl article was the inspiration for a January ’07 tdaxp post, “Gun fights and knife fights.

The Nagl book is very good.
I’ve ordered the John Robb book too. Can’t wait.

Nagl’s book was very good. Not what I expected though. More of a comparative study of how and why two different organizations learned when dealing with similar problem sets. Good, structured overview of the British and American Armies reacted to insurgencey.
