Overview

Although many consider Mao Tse Tung (Mao Zedong) and Che Guevara to be its inventors, guerrilla warfare was already old hat in biblical times. Whether you are interested in the Green Berets, the campaigns of Augusto Sandino, the accomplishments of Lawrence of Arabia, the Seminole Wars in Florida, or the Russian debacle in Chechnya, look no farther than this volume. The self contained entries offer information in an easy to understand manner, with care taken to present opposing points of view. Encyclopedia of Guerrilla Warfare covers the history of this topic from the late 18th century to the present, including topics such as wars, revolts, conflicts, movements, leaders, strategies, and concepts.
