520    "Counterinsurgency is defined as efforts to defeat and 
       confine a rebellion against a constituted authority. While
       it has become a buzz-word in the last twenty years, it is 
       as old as society itself. Counterinsurgency discusses the 
       development of modern counterinsurgency over the last two 
       hundred years, beginning with the origins of modern 
       insurgency from the concept of 'small wars' and colonial 
       warfare, through the ideas of early insurgents including 
       Clausewitz and the theories of Lawrence of Arabia, to the 
       methods of 20th-century insurgents, including Mao and Che 
       Guevara. It then examines a number of post-1945 
       insurgencies and how western armies have tried to counter 
       them, in particular how the French tried to counter 
       insurgencies in Indochina and Algeria, and then the US in 
       Vietnam, and the reaction to the American experience 
       there. This is compared with the British approach in the 
       years after World War II, particularly in Malaya, but also
       in Kenya and Northern Ireland. Against that backdrop there
       is an examination of counterinsurgency in Afghanistan and 
       Iraq, the rise of COIN literature, and the subsequent 
       backlash against that literature. The book concludes with 
       a discussion on the future of COIN."--|cProvided by
