From the Carolina Swamp Fox to the Afghan Mujahideen, this book
analyzes 40 guerrilla struggles across five continents, profiles
important figures, and gives extensive bibliographical information.
With an emphasis on causes and effects, Part I surveys and analyzes
all major guerrilla struggles and many less well known wars from
the American Revolution to 20th-century post-colonial conflicts.
Drawing a distinction between guerrilla warfare and terrorism, the
author focuses on guerrilla activity. He seeks to answer such
questions as the genesis and context of an insurgency, its
resemblance to other guerrilla conflicts, what factors contributed
to victory or defeat, which factors are unique to a conflict, and
what factors are common to many conflicts.
Part II profiles individuals who are important to the subject,
including guerrilla chieftains, military commanders, government
officials, party leaders, theorists, and instructors who exerted
notable influence. Part III surveys the major English-language
literature on guerrilla warfare, providing a a wide-ranging,
representative, and intensive collection of works.
