I'm looking for General McCrystal's thesis on Vietnam. One time, I found it on line, downloaded it and later there was a mistake on my PC. Does anyone have a copy?
I'm working on small wars and counterinsurgency for an Italian think thank with the government called: Magna Carta (weblinks added: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta_(Italy) and http://www.magna-carta.it/ .
Thank you

is well worth the reading. To what extent this 1987 tome (well researched and with some interesting interviews he did) still influences his worldview is something on which I won't speculate. GEN McChrystal's initial report and subsequent request for more troops are consistent with the conclusions of the 1987 thesis.
