An excellent summary of the present-day Sunni insurgency in Iraq. In this brief study, Ahmed Hashim provides an insightful analysis of the different factions in the Sunni resistance (e.g. Ba'athist elements, Islamic fighters, nationalists, local tribes) , the Sunni-Shia split in Iraq, and the different objectives and tactics of the various Sunni factions. An excellent read for anyone who is interested in understanding what's happening in Iraq.
