British Army Review No 139 Spring 2006, pp.12-22 (15)Summary: Challenges the "doctrinal and academic orthodoxy regarding British counter-insurgency prowess" that is based on a particular view of British principles such as minimum force, hearts and minds, and the legal conduct of operations. The British Army certainly gained extensive experience but the role of other parties and adherence to other principles in colonial wars should not be ignored, and more attention should be given to the "lessons not learned".
