Whether history or warfare buff will enjoy

Great insight into various guerrilla tactics thru first person stories of real uprisings.

Interesting reading on various insurrections

The book Guerilla Strategies by Gerard Chaliand is an antholgy of various Guerilla movements and some counter insurgencey operations. Though not indepth in any one area it does serve as a fair basis for additional research to be done. It also provides a good bibliography for easier study of all the various operations in his book. The text and introduction are fair to good. Definitely one of the books that should be included in a military strategy and tactics library. Treat it like a primer for learning various strategies and tactics
