Pretty straight ahead survey of the history of guerrilla warfare up to mid-1980's time of publication.
Liked the explicit parsing of partisan (small-scale resistance to occupiers) origins from more organized guerrilla campaigns and later terror campaigns of last resort.
Pretty dry, some good old pictures of groups, sparked a realization how many crazy high-profile hijacking/kidnappings people got away with in the 1960's and 70's before governments got real about how to address these tactics; so that was worth reading the book alone.
But otherwise it was a bit of a slog.
