N2  - Traces the long history of irregular warfare over the last five thousand years. Notes that despite its ubiquity, deadliness, and effectiveness guerilla warfare has often not been treated seriously either by soldiers or scholars. The difficulty of dealing with irregular war should not be underestimated - as the author points out "conventional tactics don't work"
