What defines a people? Is it their art or history? For a group of scholars closely involved with education and cultural transformation in Malaysia, the definition comes in unique and classically beautiful forms, like the Ukkil on the Barung of the Suluk people in Sabah. The main author, Nelson Dino, with the help of the co-authors, Baharudin Arus, Lokman Abd Samad and Jul-Amin Ampang had written a historically and culturally important book on the Suluk and their beloved Ukkil or art of carving. They focused on the Ukkil found on the Barung, arguably one of the best swords ever to come out of Southeast Asia. They discussed the historical, cultural, artistic, and social importance of the Barung and how Ukkil found on it can become an important part of the vehicle that can take Sabah into a more enlightened and harmonious place.

With the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq seemingly drawing down, and with new calls to focus on the threats of great power competition posed by states such as China and Russia on the rise, what will happen to U.S. capabilities for dealing with conflicts that occur in messy political-military environments? Irregular Soldiers and Rebellious States offers, for both expert and non-expert audiences, a useful typology and background for examining interventions where U.S. advisors and forces operating on a small-scale basis will either work with a foreign government to help defend it from threats of subversion or insurgency (known as Foreign Internal Defense) or to assist insurgents or guerrilla forces in countering a hostile regime (known as Unconventional Warfare). It uses nine examples to illustrate how the U.S.—and the British in one case—used such capabilities in either limited or assertive ways to defend (El Salvador, Philippines, Sahel, and Dhofar) or counter (Angola, Nicaragua, northern Iraq, and Afghanistan) foreign governments. Placing such interventions within the broader contexts of American military history and the cultures of the armed forces, it offers three key findings and six policy prescriptions for wisely and judiciously using these capabilities in the present and future.

Written by a reserve officer who spent a tour in the Philippines producing a classified history for US Special Operations Command, this first-ever publicly available history of OEF-P provides both a detailed accounting of the operation's successes and a model for trainers and advisers providing assistance to host-nation security forces around the globe. Stentiford emphasizes that what made OEF-P a success was an adherence to time-honored principles of counterinsurgency: insisting that host-nation forces take the lead and conducting operations with a minimal footprint that bought the essential time for the mission to succeed. Success in the Shadows is both a fitting tribute to the operators who performed this vital mission and a primer for those who will be called upon to do so in the future.
