THE INSURGENTS unfolds against the backdrop of two wars waged against insurgencies-- wars which the Pentagon's top generals didn't know how to fight. But a small group of soldiers & scholars did have a plan for fighting these kinds of wars people like General David Petraeus & Colonels John Nagl David Kilcullen & H.R. Mc Master. In order to push the idea of counterinsurgency" warfare they behaved like insurgents within their own army-and very self-consciously so. Fred Kaplan explains where this idea came from & how the men & women who latched onto this idea created a community (some would refer to themselves as a "cabal") that maneuvered the idea through the highest echelons of power. But this is also a cautionary tale about how even creative ideas can harden into dogma how smart strategists-the "best & the brightest" of our times-can sometimes sway politicians but don't always win wars. The Insurgents made their military more adaptive to the conflicts of the post-Cold War era but their self-confidence led us deeper into wars that we shouldn't have been fighting & perhaps couldn't have been won." ...

In this incendiary new work philosopher-theologian Peter Rollins proclaims that the Christian faith is not primarily concerned with questions regarding life after death but with the possibility of life before death. In order to unearth this truth Rollins prescribes a radical & wholesale critique of contemporary Christianity that he calls pyro-theology. It is only as we submit our spiritual practices religious rituals & dogmatic affirmations to the flames of fearless interrogation that we come into contact with the reality that Christianity is in the business of transforming our world rather than offering a way of interpreting or escaping it. Belief in the Resurrection means but one thing: participation in an Insurrection. ...
