A Desert Called Peace by Tom Kratman
3.0
This is basically an alt-history story pretending to be sf. It's a retelling of the first 9/11 to Iraq invasion on a what coulda-shoulda been response. The setting is a bit silly and you just have to suspend your disbelief - a colonized world that matches almost exactly with earth.
The military training / tactics, etc were too detailed for me, but I was interested in where the author was going with the argument that to defeat an enemy you have to, not only understand him, but to some extent become him.
