COIN fights: A response to Etzioni

John A. Nagl

Small Wars and Insurgencies, 2015, vol. 26, issue 3, 377-382

Abstract: Etzioni both exaggerates and minimizes the influence of my book Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife on different components of US military doctrine, mischaracterizes my treatment of the Malayan Emergency, and unfairly denigrates the successes of counterinsurgency in Iraq from 2007 to 2011 while misattributing the reasons for its failures in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
