The Pultizers just came out, and a very good Military History book won. "An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943" by Rick Atkinson. If you are into this subject, give it a try. Howell Raines' paper only got one this year, down from seven last year. You can imagine how unhappy I am with that. :>)

<Leave it to us to come up with such a novel approach to military victory....But psssst, don't tell the Iraqi republican guard that.> The Iraqi Republican Guard can't make this method work, since they don't have a close enough connection to the civilian population. But Al Queda and Hezbollah are very good at this. Actually, I think the first ones to use the new military technologies, to reach deep behind enemy lines, were the Germans and Italians in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). They used airplanes, to make the entire enemy territory a battleground. That war was sort of a "pre-season exhibition game" for WW2. Do a search under "Guernica", for details.
