From the small bands of wilderness warriors who battled in 18th-century North America to the "Chechen Lion;" and the contemporary conflict in Chechnya; John Arquilla chronicles the deadly careers of the greatest masters of irregular warfare over the past 250 years. Their impact on events has been profound; with irregulars playing crucial roles in such epochal struggles as the Anglo-French duel for North America; the defeat of Napoleon in Spain and Russia; the American Civil War; both world wars; and the current era of terrorism. Seeing the world through the eyes of guerrillas; raiders and bandits; Arquilla has written an alternative history that provides lessons for warfare in our time that must not be ignored.
