"The Defense of Jisr al-Doreaa by Captains Michael L. Burgoyne and Albert J. Marckwardt, with a preface by the ubiquitous John Nagl, is itself an example of the counterinsurgency expertise acquired by even very junior US Army officers, which allowed them to rise from the depths of 2004 to the present heights of effectiveness."

-Edward N. Luttwak, Times of London, author of Strategy the Logic of War and Peace
