Summary, etc. Originally published in the Autumn 2009 issue of Parameters. US Army counterinsurgency field manual FM 3-24 emphasises the importance of populations as likely being the most important prize in future conflicts but this article argues it should not be accepted without question. Suggests that instead of reading the COIN classics (Galula, Thompson, Kitson, and Nagl) US Army officers should read about the British Army in the second half of the nineteenth century during which period military and government understood the importance of strategy and linking ends with means.
