Regular Armies and Insurgency edited by Ronald Haycock

Regular Armies and Insurgency edited by Ronald Haycock is the proceedings of a conference held at the Royal Military College of Canada in 1978. Papers include those written by some of the big names at the time such as Alistair Horne and Sir Robert Thompson. Coverage is of the Malayan emergency, Algerian war,Vietnam war, Mexican insurgencies and Irish Civil War. The papers are pretty short. There isn't much here that will surprise but they do provide excellent summaries. Chapters contain endnotes and suggestions for further reading.
