Sommario/riassunto

Commences on the premise that in contemporary conflict, 'war amongst the people', the objective is public opinion. This book shows how conventional warfare between clearly identifiable armies is no more. Now, armies are sent to neutralize insurgents, armed militias and terrorists amongst a civilian population, preferably with the latter's consent.
