	The Insider
		Inside the Pentagon, Dec. 2, 2004 -- When officers in Army Col. H.R. McMaster’s 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment deploy to Iraq early next year, their preparation for countering the insurgency will have included not only a list of arduous military readiness exercises, but also a litany of books on warfighting and Middle Eastern history.
		Perhaps the most enthusiastic endorsements from officers and experts, though, are reserved for out-of-print or hard-to-find books -- mostly on counterinsurgency warfare -- that seem to have gained new urgency and application in Iraq.
		Vandergriff, the Army personnel officer, calls it “one of the finest books written on how to fight an insurgency, have an open culture that encourages adaptability and innovation [and] quick turnaround on lessons learned.” Vickers and McMaster’s 3ACR list agree.
