Major General Richard Lewis Clutterbuck, CB, OBE was a British soldier and academic. He was one of the best known and most respected counter-insurgency theorists of the 1960s and early 1970s. In 1966, while he was still a serving officer in the British Army, his best-known book, 'The Long Long War: Counterinsurgency In Malaya And Vietnam', was published, immediately establishing his reputation as one of the foremost writers on the subject. He eventually earned a PhD, and after his retirement from military service in 1972, Dr. Clutterbuck lectured on political violence and related subjects at Exeter University. In his later years, he was closely associated with the St. Andrews Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, which was founded in 1994.
