Synopsis:
This volume in the Praeger Security International (PSI) series "Classics of the Counterinsurgency Era" by two officers-one from the Philippines and the other from America-who fought as guerrillas against the Japanese occupation and went on to defeat the Huk rebellion after World War II. Unlike many other accounts of counterinsurgency operations that focus on theoretical principles and their tactical applications, the authors examine the means to assess the strengths and weaknesses of insurgencies. An enduring contribution of this book is its emphasis on the importance of intelligence in combating insurgent movements. With a new foreword prepared by Kalev Sepp.

Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+. First US Edition. Heavy dampstains to book and jacket, lean, and jacket with faded spine and small tears and creases. Laid in is a handwritten note in holograph ink, from a John Dennett to "David," referring to chapters 9-13 of the book and author Bohannan. Dennett also describes the war (presumably in Vietnam) and how it differs from the war in the Philippines, and guerrillas who "sometimes attack [and] sometimes stand [and] fidget" and who "are much better armed. This may, however, be only an indication of how late in the day it is here." The letter is dated May 21, with no stated year, but presumably mid 1960s. A scarce book almost always in undesirable condition with frontline ephemera accompanying. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Seller Inventory # 82276
