Holsti is God!

As a student of Professor Holsti at the Univ. of BC, I could not help but to be impressed with this book. He gives an indepth historical survey of Mankind's war, then focuses on what he dubs as the "wars of the third kind" or low-intensity conflict. He documents case studies on each wars of the third kind, then focuses on what can be done to resolve this new type of conflict. Two thumbs up, Professor Holsti! Jeong Lee
