September 2010 Dinner Featuring

Dr. David Kilcullen

Dr Kilcullen has fought in seven counterinsurgency campaigns, and his recently published book "Counterinsurgency" examines the roughly 386 examples of counterinsurgency worldwide since the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. His presentation entitled "Counterinsurgency: a Large-N Perspective" examined some of the key characteristics of this type of warfare that emerge from that large-N historical perspective, and the key lessons for current and future US-led operations.
