David Galula’s ideas are reflected in U.S. Army Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency, and in nearly every speech American commanders in Afghanistan and Iraq give, but until now, almost no biographical information was available on him. Arguably the greatest writer on counterinsurgency, Galula led a fascinating, all too brief life that gave him a bird’s eye view of most of the great conflicts of the second half of the 20th century.
