Thanks for your thoughts. That was my first impression, but Slotkin isn't exactly friendly to the idea of counterinsurgency so I didn't want to rush to judgment. I appreciate the insights on Hilsman's background, too. For what it is worth, it seems like this type of scholarship tends to focus on counterinsurgency "experts" who are not very expert at all.

If there is anything else redeemable or interesting about Hilsman, I would love to hear it from fans or detractors alike.
