Former anthropologist, Australian army officer and adviser to Gen. Petraeus, David Kilcullen’s COUNTERINSURGENCY, based on the author’s ‘Twenty-Eight Articles’ of Counterinsurgency Warfare, and THE NINTH WINTER, the author’s new theory of competitive control, a mix of counterinsurgency, peacekeeping, counterterrorism, counternarcotics and stablization operations, based on experience in Afghanistan since 9/11 will be published respectively in Spring 2010 and Spring 2011, by Hurst Publishers London, Oxford University Press, New York, Scribe Publishers, Melbourne and Foundation Books, New Delhi.
