What They Are Reading: ‘A Question of Command’
The New York Times has more on A Question of Command: Counterinsurgency from the Civil War to Iraq by Dr. Mark Moyar. See C. J. Chiver’s “What They Are Reading: ‘A Question of Command'”. BLUF: “… leave it to others to scratch and claw over the merits and shortfalls of American counterinsurgency theory. To understand the theory better, and to see the interpretations of history upon which it is based, consider “A Question of Command,” now part of the curriculum in courses in Kabul.”
Also see two Small Wars Journal reviews of A Question of Command; A Question of Command by Matthew Caris and A Third COIN Course of Action by LtCol Adam Stickland; and Dr. Moyar’s SWJ article Counterinsurgency and Professional Military Education.
