Contemporary, NON-western insurgency/COIN literature or manuals

[Steve Blair]

Hi Charlie

I came across this reference to a publication on Japanese COIN during WW2 (http://www.quikmaneuvers.com/japanes...gency-ww2.html) while I was writing up my thoughts on the FM 3-24 rewrite...not sure if it the type of thing that you are after and I know nothing more about the publication that what you see on the site...

You've piqued my interest in this area with your questiuon and I will make further inquiries through my networks...what sort of time frame are you working on? Are you interesting in only the narrow definition of COIN a la FM 3-24 et al or publications covering what might more broadly be considered irregular warfare?

That site is...interesting.

Yeah, I've yet to find a guinea pig for testing one "book" there.
The sheer quantity is unbelievable/suspicious.

I've been in contact IIRC two years ago with someone who's somehow involved there, my impression was that he was a semi-reasonable guy.

This may be superfluous but David Kilcullen did a lot of study of Indonesian small wars. Maybe he would have some things.

Yes, the "About Us" section was very "interesting" as well.
