Connections are always interesting; though they may mislead and take one down the primrose path to perdition.
The Industrial War College is formally the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and used to be the Army Industrial College - from the Wiki:
Now, Bernard Baruch was an interesting figure of my youth (he lived until he was 95 in 1965, when I was 23 ), advisor of presidents from Wilson through Kennedy. Baruch was certainly linked to the Industrial College, and the Industrial College was linked to our 1962 "Counterinsurgency" anthology; but so what - Bernard Baruch did not author the book.The Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) is a U.S. military educational institution tasked with preparing military officers and civilian government officials for leadership and executive positions in the field of national security. Established in 1924 in the aftermath of America’s mobilization difficulties in World War I, its predecessor, the Army Industrial College, focused on wartime procurement and mobilization procedures. Bernard M. Baruch, who was a prominent Wall Street speculator and Chairman of the War Industries Board, is regarded as one of the founding fathers.
.....
ICAF moved into a newly constructed facility, Eisenhower Hall, in 1960. During the next several years, a period that Baruch termed the Cold War, the character of ICAF changed dramatically. As the United States found itself increasingly involved in Vietnam, ICAF shifted to educating leaders to manage logistical resources in such conflicts, as opposed to focusing on national industrial mobilization.
Slap, you've selected one Franklin Lindsay as the author with still-current impact on the subject. So, what do we know about him - actually quite a bit; but you have to go to the Hoover Institution Archives, Stanford University, Register of the Franklin Lindsay Papers, 1943-1994 (10 pages).
From that list of papers, we find Lindsay's brief bio (p.3 pdf):
In 1946, Lindsay was 30; and running in some pretty high-flying company as Bernard Baruch's Exec Asst. Lindsay's expertise was in the area of economic aid and FID.1916, March 12 Born in Kenton, Ohio

Another interesting connection is the first author in the anthology, Walt Rostow, DNSA to Kennedy and NSA to Johnson - but, over and above those mere positions, Rostow was the creator of this brand of economic theory:
(from the Wiki) That model justified the Kennedy-Johnson approach toward insurgencies and their "cures".Rostow was famous especially for writing the book The Stages of Economic Growth: A non-communist manifesto (1960) which became a classic text in several fields of social sciences.
...
Rostow developed the Rostovian take-off model of economic growth, one of the major historical models of economic growth. The model argues that economic modernization occurs in five basic stages of varying length—traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity, and high mass consumption. This became one of the important concepts in the theory of modernization in the social evolutionism.
Rostow was also OSS during WWII.
So, there are some interesting, connected figures in this story.
Cheers
