This article looks at several key COIN readings and briefly discusses the emphasis of each. Most of our junior officers and NCOs are probably already tracking these books, so I think the real value of this article is the effort to articulate how the various texts may or may not relate to one another in regards to their application (theoretical vs operational) and method of implementation (B,W,T or Primary Counterinsurgent).

I specifically enjoyed this part:
"Dr. Douglas A. Borer is Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Instruction in the Defense Analysis Department at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He teaches in the SOLIC and IO curricula and writes on the politics of legitimacy in war.
He is a retired bear hunter from Montana. "
