The perceptible degeneration of the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan into insurgent quagmires has sparked a renewal of academic and military interest in the theory and practice of counterinsurgency. In light of this, this book provides a rigorous analysis of those individuals who have contributed to both the theory and practice of counterinsurgency: ‘warrior-scholars’. These are soldiers who have bridged the academic-military divide by influencing doctrinal and intellectual debates about irregular warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrregular warfare is notoriously difficult for the military, and scholarly understanding about this type of warfare is also problematic; especially given the residual anti-intellectualism within Western militaries. Thus, \u003ci\u003eThe Theory and Practice of Irregular Warfare \u003c\/i\u003eis dedicated to analysing the best perceivable bridge between these two worlds. The authors explore the theoretical and practical contributions made by a selection of warrior-scholars of different nationalities, from periods ranging from the French colonial wars of the mid-twentieth century to the Israeli experiences in the Middle East; from contributions to American counter-insurgency made during the Iraq War, to the thinkers who shaped the US war in Vietnam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of counterinsurgency, strategic studies, defence studies, war studies and security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263287054680,"sku":"9780415836906","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415836906_65a2c272-0b31-47c4-843e-2537e09c1e21.jpg?v=1768469438","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/theory-and-practice-of-irregular-warfare-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
