      Effective strategy development hinges on understanding non-state actors and insurgent activities, which have surged in recent years. This book examines the concept of the Center of Gravity (CoG) in the context of counterinsurgency (COIN) strategies, questioning whether traditional military models are suitable for addressing insurgencies. Through a case study of Iraq, it highlights how misconceptions and biases among civil and military leaders impacted strategic decisions. The work challenges readers to reconsider the relevance of CoG in combating contemporary insurgent threats.
