From the American war in Vietnam to the Russian war in Afghanistan,
from the British occupation of Northern Ireland to the American
occupation of Iraq, "small wars"-which include guerilla warfare and
other asymmetrical combat-have been a staple of the geopolitical
arena of the post-World War II globe. But it was a contingency
before the World Wars that demanded advanced preparation in the
areas of strategy, logistics, and other military concerns, too. In
this classic 1896 book, Anglo-Irish military writer MAJOR GENERAL
SIR CHARLES EDWARD CALLWELL (1859-1928) drew on his service in the
British army to create the first modern guide to the "small war."
From the causes of small wars, which impacts how they will be
fought, to the characteristics of guerilla warfare to nitty-gritty
details on the best tactics to employ over various terrain, this is
a gripping instruction manual for deploying the "boldness and
vigour" required to win a small war. History buffs, wargamers, and
armchair military enthusiasts should consider this essential
reading.
