American Counterinsurgency: Human Science and the Human Terrain
Roberto J. Gonzalez
The $60 million Human Terrain System (HTS), an intelligence gathering program that embeds social scientists with combat brigades in Iraq and Afghanistan, dramatically illustrates the approach. This pamphlet critiques HTS, showing how the history of anthropology can be used to illuminate the problems of turning 'culture' into a military tool.
