| Sommario/riassunto: | David Kilcullen is one of the world's most influential experts on counterinsurgency and modern warfare. 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" |
