A new US military counterinsurgency (COIN) manual outlining
tactics to combat movements seeking to overthrow governments by
armed conflict and subversion. Although events in Iraq and
Afghanistan have contributed to its creation, many examples refer to
other insurgencies from history to illustrate key points. These
include the IRA, the Bolsheviks and the Viet Cong in Vietnam. The
book is a carefully crafted mix of historical studies and
contemporary experience. David Patraeus was appointed commander of
Multi-National Force - Iraq, the four-star post that oversees all US
forces in the country, on January 26, 2007.

July 22, 1812,
Salamanca, Spain. Frustrated at their first advance, British
forces under Wellington's command spent the previous four days
manoeuvering and retreating from the French army. Patient and
cautious, Wellington was determined not to make a fatal mistake.
He glimpsed a moment of opportunity and grasped it, committing all
of his troops to a sudden devastating attack. At the end of the
day, the French army was broken, panic-stricken and reeling.
Wellington had achieved the finest victory of his brilliant
military career.
The story of South Africa’s 32-Battalion, 1975-1993. 32-Battalion

founding commander. Because of the secrecy surrounding it,
32-Battalion not only became one of the finest fighting units in the
South African Army, it also became the most controversial.
