Pp. 346. $27.95.Carl von Clausewitz, Alfred von Schlieffen, Billy Mitchell, Hank Crump-ton, David Galula, Sun Tzu and the late Air Force Colonel John Boyd focused not only on how to win engagements militarily but also by outma-neuvering an enemy mentally in order to limit the necessity for actual combat. Rarely is one able to witness the work of a distinctive practitioner and foremost authority on counterintelligence whose ideas may ulti-mately change the way we engage an enemy. In Accidental Guerilla, David Kilcullen examines and analyzes the nature and need for a revolu-tionary change in our counter-insurgency policy through his first hand experiences in the theaters of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, East Timor and Indonesia
