A Senior Counterinsurgency Advisor to General David Petraeus in Iraq, his vision of war dramatically influenced America's decision to rethink its military strategy in Iraq and implement ""the surge."". Now, in The Accidental Guerrilla, Kilcullen provides a remarkably fresh perspective on the War on Terror. Kilcullen takes us ""on the ground"" to uncover the face of modern warfare, illuminating both the big global war (the ""War on Terrorism"") and its relation to the associated ""small wars" 606 $aGuerrilla warfare 606 $aCounterinsurgency 606 $aMilitary history, Modern$y20th century 606 $aMilitary history, Modern$y21st century 606 $aAfghan War, 2001-2021 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011 606 $aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGuerrilla warfare. 615 0$aCounterinsurgency. 615 0$aMilitary history, Modern 615 0$aMilitary history, Modern 615 0$aAfghan War, 2001-2021 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 615 0$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 676 $a355.4/25 700 $aKilcullen$b David$01163907 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910649400603321 996 $aThe accidental guerrilla$92904408 997 $aUNINA
