Counter-Guerrilla Operations

This volume is by two officers - one from the Philippines and the other from the U.S. - who fought as guerrillas against the Japanese occupation, and went on to defeat the Communist Huk rebellion after World War II. Unlike many other accounts of counterinsurgency operations that focus on theoretical principles and their tactical applications, the authors examine the means to assess the strengths and weaknesses of insurgencies. An enduring contribution of this book is its emphasis on the importance of intelligence in combating insurgent movements. This new edition makes the work available to today's readership.
