Product Description
Although many consider Mao Tse-tung and Che Guevara to be its inventors, the origins of guerrilla warfare can actually be traced to biblical times; it was mentioned as early as the fifteenth century B.C.E. on a Hittite parchment. This volume is the first reference book of its kind.Entries in this illustrated A-to-Z volume focus specifically on topics related to guerrilla warfare from the late eighteenth century to the present. Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader, the author draws on his extensive military knowledge to present information in an easy-to-understand manner. This reference also discusses opposing points of view on the controversial aspects of guerrilla warfare, giving readers an even-handed understanding of a very difficult topic.The Encyclopedia of Guerrilla Warfare delves into an ancient and infamous art of war, its successes and failures, its practitioners, and its opponents.
