Counterinsurgency Manual
I’ve been doing some research and planning for Trade War, my novel-in-progress. One of the downloads I had was a copy of Field Manual 3-24: Counterinsurgency. It is surprisingly readable. Though there are definitely sections that non-military people can skim through, FM 3-24 is certainly worth reading for anyone interested in 21st century politics. So I uploaded it to tradewarbook.com and you can read it by clicking the link above.
Other possible sources of information that I haven’t looked into yet are:
Mao Zedong On Protracted War
War and Social Guerrilla Struggle in Iraq
FM 7-8 Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad
