Abu Muqawama's counterinsurgency reading list to include bare bones essentials, intermediate reading (colonial and modern), advanced reading, political Islam and Islamist violence, fiction and films can be found here. Recommended additions to the list by site visitors can be found in comments.
One that I would add is The Village by Bing West.
To see what Council members are reading go here.

Good shots. From Spain, in Spanish, a current commentary regarding "The Counterinsurgency Reading List". I suggest in it the review of the 1965's French-Spanish movie "La 317éme Section" regarding the times of Dien Bien Phu.
