Sommario/riassunto

Otto Heilbrunn's 'Partisan Warfare' provides a comprehensive analysis of guerrilla warfare, examining its evolution and significance in modern conflicts. The book discusses the strategic and operational aspects of guerrilla tactics, their relationship with regular armies, and the role of air forces in guerrilla warfare. It also explores the treatment of guerrillas and civilian populations, aiming to derive general rules for anti-guerrilla operations. By drawing on historical examples, particularly from World War II and subsequent conflicts, Heilbrunn underscores the importance of understanding guerrilla movements in



the context of contemporary warfare. The work is intended for military historians, strategists, and those interested in the dynamics of irregular warfare.
