Andrew Bacevich, who definitely has 'the man' status x5 for his always tempered and evidenced arguments against the war in Iraq, reviewed counterinsurgency master David Kilcullen 's book The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One.
Kilcullen will be at the Middle East Institute discucssing his book on April 7, 12-1.
(Both, by the way, kind of have double legitimacy out the wazoo, Bacevich is ret. military and a professor at BU and Kilcullen did doctoral research among insurgents in Indonesia and is Australian military. Bacevich might be more of a heavyweight than Kilcullen though...)
I discvered this review via Abu Muqawama's blog. It is, along with Marc Lynch (Abu Ardvark) and Musings on Iraq, I think the top blog for information on public diplomacy, foreign policy, Middle East info., Iraq and Afghanistan.
