Anyone looking at today's and tomorrow's engagements would be well served by reading the first two. They provide interesting context for discussions of the nuts-and-bolts of warfare.
Turbeville's Hunting Leadership Targets in Counterinsurgency and Counterterrorist Operations: Selected Perspectives and Experience can be downloaded in full at the JSOU pubs website from the 2007 selections.

There is also a thread on HVTs/Political Assassination in the Global Issues and Threats section of the Council.
