Special Operations, Insurgency & UW Reading List

[Airbornelawyer]

I'm trying to put various links I've pulled together in one place. This is not too well-organized at this point, but getting them in one place is a start. As a start, all of the links below are from official sources (CGSC's Combined Arms Research Library, the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute, National Defense University, U.S. Army Center of Military History, etc.). I will add more as I have time, and feel free to add your own.
