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.

Cool!
Dan, what’s the permalink for your grand OODA loop analysis post ?

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.
