Must recommend Victory Point by Ed Darack, discussed elsewhere on this site by actual experts not small wars novices/junior tacticians such as myself.
Very good journalism; thorough engagement narratives, detailed terrain descriptions, some human interest content, minimal heroic romanticism although the author seems susceptible to the syndrome.
More than anything else the book left me wondering if the war isnt actually between regular and irregular forces.
Clarification: US forces of regular and irregular nature
