It places Galula's two great books in the context of his exposure to Mao's doctrine of revolutionary warfare in China, the French Army's keen interest in counterinsurgency in the second half of the 1950s, and the transmission of French doctrine to the U.S. military in the early 1960s. It also discusses home-grown American counterinsurgency pioneers like General Edward Lansdale, who promoted Galula's American career and encouraged him to write a book. It details the counterinsurgency fever of President John F. Kennedy's administration, a nearly forgotten episode. Galula died in relative obscurity at the age of 49 in 1967. He had the odd historical luck of not having been a part of the counterinsurgency fever of his day, but of ours instead. Both those who think counterinsurgency has been embraced uncritically and those who think it has not been followed enough will find intellectual ammunition in Galula anfd food for thought in the relationship of his ideas to his time" --$cStrategic Studies Institute (SSI) web site. 410 0$aSSI monograph. 517 $aDavid Galula 606 $aCounterinsurgency$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCounterinsurgency$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCounterinsurgency$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGuerrilla warfare$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMilitary doctrine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMilitary art and science 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 615 0$aCounterinsurgency$xHistory 615 0$aCounterinsurgency$xHistory 615 0$aCounterinsurgency$xHistory 615 0$aGuerrilla warfare$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary doctrine$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary art and science. 676 $a355.00972 676 $aB 700 $aMarlowe$b Ann$f1958-$01352860 712 02$aArmy War College (U.S.).$bStrategic Studies Institute. 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910693430403321 996 $aDavid Galula$93204937 997 $aUNINA
