Encyclopedia Of Guerrilla Warfare by Ian F.W. Beckett

Encyclopedia Of Guerrilla Warfare by Ian F.W. Beckett is well what the title describes. Coverage is actually quite good there is material on topics prior to 1945 as well as the usual suspects. Their are things in the analysis that I can quibble with but nothing to major.

Beckett is one of those who splits the concept of guerrillas, insurgents and partisans. I'm not particularly happy with this idea it is often been difficult to decide which is which. Extensive bibliography.

Recommended highly.

Is available through Abebooks.



For reviews take a look at My Insurgency/Counterinsurgency, Partisan and Guerrilla Warfare bookshelf.
