Is FM 3-24 a blueprint for COIN? : the debate on counterinsurgency / Edwin G Corr and John T Fishel. - 2014

Considers several different published views on America's approach to counterinsurgency (Kaplan: The insurgents; Shultz: The Marines take Anbar; Gentile: Wrong Turn; Manwaring: Uncomfortable wars) and notes the costs of US involvement in various COIN operations. Concludes that "unless absolutely necessary do not commit American combat troops", to do so is expensive and unproductive.
