    Default Essays on COIN in Iraq and Afghanistan at the Tactical Level of War

    SWJ members,
    While attending the AUSA Convention I ran into an old friend, John Antal. He represents EFW (publishes articles pertaining to the Warfighter). For 2008 EFW is looking to publish articles on COIN in SWA. Fom the many and varied posts here at SWJ there are those who deserve to be read. Here is the link: http://www.efw1.com.
    Good luck.
    Best regards--
    Kreker

    Is COL Antal doing a "Choose your own adventure" book for COIN? He was the Armor School Head (16 CAV) when I went through CCC. Would be a neat concept.

    Hi Cavguy,
    John was signing copies of the 2007 Forests of Steel, Modern City Combat From the War in Vietnam to the Battle for Iraq. That book is a collection of articles written by current Soldiers and retired Soldiers. He's trying to get more interest from the Army in providing articles to the 2008 book.
    John is a good guy and is doing his part to maintain currency with the Army at war.
    Best regards,
    Kreker.

    I've read a number of his books, being an Armor Officer and such. I remember at Knox he always walked around carrying a saber. The reason I asked was your post jogged my memory about his tactical decision book about NTC, and I just realized that something like that would be useful for COIN.

    I thought that name was familiar...[insert forehead-slapping smilie here]
