Reviews

[Francisco Vazquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

You can read this book as a conceptual treatise on counter-insurgence or as a military history of the Indochina, Algeria, Greece, and China revolutions.
The style of the writer may seem too dry for modern audiences.
Recommended for specialists and historians, not so much for generalists -excluding, as usual, the introductory and concluding chapters

[Darrell E. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This a great, over looked work on counterinsurgency. McCuen does a good job of laying out a sensible counter to revolutionary war and providing the reader with may best be termed options. At times, McCuen is long on history spending long passages describing events in order to make a point. However, it is one of the few counterinsurgency studies to take a survey approach rather than attempting to draw lessons learned from one or two conflicts.
