There has been much criticism of the US-led coalition's post war strategy in Iraq. As the insurgency has grown and sectarian violence taken hold, US forces have increasingly had to adapt their tactics - most recently boosting troop numbers in the so-called "surge" strategy.
General Sir Michael Rose's book - the latest Newsnight Book Club entry - argues the insurgents' tactics have been seen before - ironically when George Washington's forces succeeded in defeating the British Army to win independence for the US in Having served with the SAS and commanded the UN Protection Force in Bosnia, his analysis raises profound questions about tactics and leadership in the campaign in Iraq.

TERRY GROSS, host:
This is FRESH AIR. I&#;m Terry Gross.

questions we&#;re going to spend the next couple of days discussing with
military leaders, prominent Iraqis, policy analysts and journalists. The
first of today&#;s five guests is Lieutenant Colonel John Nagl. Along with

Lieutenant Colonel John Nagl, welcome to FRESH AIR. Do you think it&#;s time
