What lessons can be found in India’s experience with counterinsurgency? Are there elements of India’s philosophical approach to counterinsurgency and its tactical innovations that can be applied by the United States in expeditionary counterinsurgency operations?

Together, they tackle these questions and more as they assess the Indian approach to counterinsurgency.
