The book critiques the revival of counterinsurgency doctrines during the Iraq mission, particularly focusing on the concept of "pacification." It highlights how this term, framed as a means of government control and local support, masks the violent suppression of resistance movements. Jacobsen draws parallels to historical atrocities in Vietnam, arguing that such euphemisms perpetuate repressive practices that civilized nations must reject. The pamphlet serves as a call to critically examine and abandon these harmful policies.
