Reviews

A highly lucid analysis. The last chapter should be required reading for all U.S. policymakers and military officers in Iraq. An excellent introduction to this complex form of warfare, which is likely to dominate international relations for the foreseeable future. - European History Quarterly ""There is a lot of knowledge packed into these pages, the detail on particular cases is often fascinating, and the lessons are sensible and highly topical."" - Foreign Affairs ""An excellent comparative study of the interplay of politics and military operations in counterinsurgency warfare."" - John D. Stempel, author of Inside the Iranian Revolution
