Three years ago, a small cadre of US army officers huddled at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to re-write the service's long-neglected counterinsurgency manual. Under the direction of General David Petraeus, the effort brought the battle for "hearts and minds" to the forefront of American strategic thinking.
