Intelligence learning and adaptation :  lessons from counterinsurgency wars/ 
John A Gentry. 
 -  2010 
<br/><br/> Study of eight counterinsurgency wars by four Western powers during the 20th century to assess the extent of preparedness to deal with insurgency. Finds that where a whole government approach was used (Portugal) few changes were necessary to respond to insurgency. In other cases perfecting intelligence took years or was never achieved. Considers the implications of these findings for the US war on terror.
