Counterinsurgency

…concise introduction to modern counterinsurgency, involving the methods and tactics that those currently serving will immediately recognise. […] a fairly academic overview of the subject, but it’s concise format ensures that the tempo of reading remains manageable. * Royal Anglian News 19/07/2021 *…an excellent account of the components of effectiveness in counterinsurgency campaigns. […] accompanied by a valuable discussion of the evolution of counterinsurgency doctrines in the British and American militaries. * Perspectives on Terrorism 05/07/2021 *Quite apart from its merits as a more than useful reference for members of the Armed Forces I commend this book as a ‘must read’ for politicians, diplomats, policy makers, political advisers, Foreign Aid practitioners, officials across government and the Treasury. * Sir Andrew Graham Bt CB CBE 13/09/2021 *
