Reading Queue

Chris Jones (email) at 06:15 PM

I've got an insanely deep reading queue right now, but one of the items I'm most looking to getting around to (besides the 9/11 Commission Report) is a book out of the RAND Institute entitled America's Role In Nation-Building: From Germany to Iraq, which is freely available online.

I've glanced at chapter 9, which looks at lessons learned (hence the title of the chapter, Lessons Learned) from the various invasions/occupations/missions/name-du-jour over the past six decades. A particularly interesting chart shows how troop levels per capita have changed in the post-conflict years.

With that said, and on another topic altogether, I am now firmly convinced that I am living in the Twilight Zone. That is all, carry on.
