Two small works of science fiction; "A Small Colonial War" and "Fire in a Far Away Place" by Robert Frezza. Once you get past the premise, you will be hooked.

Elliot Cohen has this short offering of COIN readings in the latest FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Note the final selection-

"This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski
On Killing...
Amazon.com: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (9780316330114): Dave Grossman: Books
A 'must read', in my opinion, for anyone on active duty, retired, or even contemplating military service.
Freebie to read online here-
The Bear Went Over The Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics In Afghanistan-Lester Grau N.D.U. 1996
Reads fine at 100%.
EDIT: And here is its twin- The Other Side Of The Mountain: Mujahideen Tactics In The Soviet-Afghan War
The Other Side Of The Mountain: Mujahideen Tactics In the Soviet-Afghan War-Ali Ahmad Jalali and Lester Grau
Best read at 75% size. Remove the bookmark and chapters to the left and reduce the size. PDF takes a moment to load so don't panic.
