First off I haven't read the book.

Now, I have heard so many things over the years in regards to French and British counter-insurgency programs and the value of shock, scorched earth etc. That said, how many countries in North Africa and West Asia still fly the Union Jack or the French Tri-color? In many respects these books are examples of what hasn't worked.
