About the Book
The Defense of Jisr Al Doreaa is a short fictional novella to give cadets, lieutenants and junior leaders
an understanding of the application of counter-insurgency fundamentals.
With high operational tempo and a steep learning curve, young officers are challenged to learn a great deal quickly.
This short and simple book, modeled after the military classic The Defense of Duffer's Drift, provides a fictional look at the difficulties
associated with modern counter-insurgency.
As the protagonist struggles with the effects produced by his actions
the reader is able to benefit from the lessons learned and internalize them. While thick works of doctrine can be
intimidating, this book provides an effective starting point for junior leaders seeking to
master counter-insurgency warfare.
The authors are donating their royalties for this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that
supports the families of America's injured servicemen.
