U.S. Army War College: U.S. Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute, 2007. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. In Iraq the U.S. Army has undertaken counterinsurgency, a type of activity it thought it had left behind with the end of the Cold War. In the long war against terror, counterinsurgency will remain a central element of American national security policy so it is important to assess the strategic implications of the Iraq campaign. In this monograph, Dr. Steven Metz, who has been writing on counterinsurgency for several decade, draws strategic lessons about counterinsurgency from the Iraq conflict. He contends that the United States is likely to undertake it in coming decades but, based on the performance in Iraq, may not be adequately prepared depending on the grand strategy which the United States adopts. Dr. Steven Metz is Director of Research at the Strategic Studies Institute. He has been with SSI since 1993. He has been an advisor to political campaigns and elements of the intelligence community; served on national security policy task forces; testified in both houses of Congress; and spoken on military and security issues around the world. He is the author of more than 100 publications. Dr. Metz holds a Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University. More

Cover has slight wear and soiling. G.E. Miller was fortunate enough to see life behind the Iron Curtain in 1970 in his late teens, when invited along with a civil engineering group from Canada. He spent weeks behind the Iron Curtain touring Leningrad, Moscow and East Berlin, observing life under the fist of tyranny. He saw first-hand a majority of the Communist’s people oppressed and dirt poor, standing in long lines just for a loaf of bread, thousands of empty shelves in Moscow’s largest department store in Red Square. He returned home to America deeply appreciating the freedoms and liberty that living in a Republic and a free society offer. A life-long dedication to history study, mixed with a fascination with sciences that mankind currently has very little understanding of, creates a unique combination of old age and new age journeys for the reader’s enjoyment. “The New Madrid Trilogy”, comprised of “A Matter of Timing”, “The Cataclysm Scroll”, and “Killing the Eagle”, reflect the author’s passions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness entitled to all people throughout the world – regardless of race, religion or geographical location.

Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948) is an American journalist and commentator. She worked in The New York Times' Washington bureau before joining Fox News. Miller became embroiled in controversy after her coverage of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion was discovered to have been based on the inaccurate information in the intelligence investigations, particularly those stories that were based on sourcing from the now-disgraced Ahmed Chalabi. The New York Times later determined that a number of stories she had written for the paper were inaccurate. Miller was involved in the Plame Affair, in which the status of Valerie Plame as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) became widely known. When asked to name her sources, Miller invoked reporter's privilege and refused to reveal her sources in the Central Intelligence Agency leak and spent 85 days in jail protecting her source, Scooter Libby. Miller was forced to resign from her job at The New York Times in November 2005. Later, she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel. More
