It gives a general biographical sketch and contributions of various "masters" of unconventional and asymmetrical warfare; enlightening the read on how they have affected modern warfare. The author does an excellent job at making this a very interesting read for the uninitiated to irregular warfare; military strategy and history.The book covers 18 personalities from Rogers of Rogers Rangers to the partisan leader Tito. One chapter in particular; I really enjoyed was on General Sir Frank Edward Kitson British Army officer and writer on military subjects; notably "Low Intensity Operations: Subversion; Insurgency; Peace-Keeping" and the classic "Gangs and Counter-Gangs" about the development and employment of pseudo-operations. The chapter provided an excellent overview of his contributions to the British counter-insurgency strategies. Kitson is accredited as being the farther of "modern" pseudo-operations; the employment of turned terrorist/insurgents; conducting mirror image operations against their former comrades (AKA false flag operations). These same tactics were made famous by the Rhodesian Selous Scouts during the Rhodesian Bush War.Overall I recommend this book to junior military personnel and military history enthusiast.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book!By A. FelicianoThis is a book for our time. The United States; is presently involved in combatting terrorist groups in the middle east.The book covers; samples of; small scale conflicts and the personalities that lead those conflicts. The book makes the point; that small scale conflicts have had strategic impacts in effecting the outcome of those conflicts.This book should be read; especially by policy makers. It will give them some insights as to what is really going to be required to truly "contain" insurgents and terrorists.This book should be required reading for all involved in "small scale" conflicts. Not; only for those who plan and execute the missions. But; citizens in general; to understand the difficulty involved in "winning" those conflicts.Great book !!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SureBy Dan CoxI never used the book.
