'Soft' Counterinsurgency reviews the promise and actual achievement
of Human Terrain Teams, the small groups of social scientists that
were eventually embedded in every combat brigade in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The book, based on interviews with both HTT personnel
and their military commanders, examines the military's need for
sociocultural information, the ethical issues surrounding research
carried out in combat zones, and the tensions between military and
social science organizational cultures. The account provides a
close, detailed account of HTT activities, a critical reflection on
the possibilities of creating a 'softer, ' less violent
counterinsurgency, and the difficulty of attempting to make war
more 'intelligent' and discriminating.
