This volume addresses the problem of small, irregular, and
unconventional war across time and around the globe. The use of
non-uniformed and often civilian combatants, with tactics eschewing
pitched battles, is the most common form of warfare throughout
history and comes in many forms. The collection works back in time
beginning with the 'Long War' in present day Afghanistan and
concluding with warfare in classical Greece. Along the way it
engages with conflicts as diverse as the American Civil War and
regional rebellion in Tudor England. Each case study provides
unique insights into the practices, experiences, and discourses
that have shaped this ubiquitous type of conflict. Readers
interested in rebellion and repression, cultural and tactical
interpretations of conflict, civilian strategies in wartime, the
supposed 'western way of war', and the ways in which participants
have framed and related their actions across a variety of spheres
will find much of interest in these pages.
