Book Reviews of Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam
Book Review: A well written and intelligent book
Summary: 5 Stars
Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife is a well written book by an author who has a good deal of experience in field on which he writes. The book itself sometimes reads as you might expect a university thesis to. To some this might seem distracting, but actually accentuates the amount of excellent research carried out by John Nagl. It is, in fact, a very readable book which those who read it will find intellectually stimulating as well as interesting. For those in the armed forces whose jobs relate to counter-insurgency this book is well worth the time spent reading it.
