Items related to Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice
Back in print after almost 40 years, Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice, penned by David Galula in 1964, provides a systematic discussion of how to defeat the insurgent and the pitfalls along the way. Experience in China, Greece, Southeast Asia, and Algeria as a French military officer and attache’ led Galula to consider the "need for a compass," and prompted him to "define the laws of counterinsurgency warfare, to deduce from them its principles, and to outline the corresponding strategy and tactics." As relevant now as it was forty years ago when first published, Counterinsurgency Warfare could provide the template to defeat the insurgents and terrorists of today.
