Guerilla and How to Fight Him, The – Historical Book – Praeger Publishers from Praeger Publishers

Description

In the decade following the end of World War I, the Marine Corps Gazette began publishing on-the-spot reports of the “banana wars”, the guerrilla combat then raging in the jungles of Latin America. By the decade after World War II, guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency warfare had established themselves as dynamic concepts that could not be disregarded in either military or political calculations, and in January 1962 the Gazette devoted an entire issue to the subject. Maps, diagrams and a topical bibliography supplement this anthology of the best that has been written on this deceptively simple, yet highly complex, threat to the peace.
