Counterinsurgency Warfare

Inspired by his experiences as a French military officer and attaché, the author realized the "need for a compass" in the suppression of insurgency, and he set out to "define the laws of counterinsurgency warfare, to deduce from them its principles, and to outline the corresponding strategy and tactics." Written in 1964, his book in its new printing as part of the Praeger Security International (PSI) series Classics of the Counterinsurgency Era, is as relevant as it was 40 years ago—providing a template for the defeat of today's insurgents and terrorists.
