  Looks at the question of how to withdraw from engagement with an insurgency. Gleis examines how insurgencies are conducted and what, if anything, is unique about an Islamist insurgency. He then proposes ways to combat these groups successfully and to disentangle one's military forces from the war once strategic objectives have been met - or once it is clear that they cannot be.
