It was a good read, but in some cases it was just a bit exhaustive. I think it's good to have some direction to put IW in the context of what to do, but it also got a bit boring in some places. I think the focus would be (though the topics mentioned in the book support IW) on more Irregular Warfare-centric, and not so much get bogged down on stuff like the dollar and its value. At the end of the day, you have service members, not accountants, who use IW the most, from special forces to the individual Soldier on the ground in an insurgency. It is informative, but I think it was drowned down too much on some things not relevant to the IW fight, and more on government policies. Don't get me wrong, I think policies should shape the fight, but unfortunately, most IW topics feature kinetic, not so much policymaking, and this should be more about near-peer fights than the grunt work.. 4 out of 5 stars.
