While US war strategies have been dominated by the doctrine of
counterinsurgency (COIN), Col. Gian Gentile and a group of
dissident officers and defence analysts have questioned the
efficacy of COIN - essentially armed nation-building. Drawing on
Col. Gentile's experiences as a combat battalion commander in Iraq
and his research into the application of counterinsurgency in a
variety of historical contexts, Wrong Turn is a brilliant summation
of Gentile's views of the failures of COIN, as well as a searing
re-evaluation of the current state of affairs in Afghanistan.
