A significant resource on the strategy, success and failures of successive political and military initiatives to contain or suppress guerrilla campaigns. Very relevant to corporates respective to the environments in which they operate and the weakness of specific strategies that result in their own requirement to prepare and prevent impact from such low intensity conflicts, up to and inclusive of major movements by issue motivated groups. For anyone not experienced as a result of military service to this end, a very helpful resource to achieve a level of understanding and preparedness often only achieved by specific military service.
