David Petraeus & John Nagal: American Foreign Policy

Back in the first Gulf War, as a West Point graduate serving as an army Tank commander, John Nagl was an early convert to the view that America’s greatest threats would come from guerrillas, terrorists and insurgents.

Tapped by General Petraeus to coauthor the new army and marine counterinsurgency field manual, Nagl helped change the course of two wars and the thinking of an army. His new book, Knife Fights, A Memoir of Modern War in Theory and Practice, comes out in October. He and David Petraeus discuss strategy, the consequences and the costs—and what America must do to move forward.
