The Theory and Practice of Irregular Warfare by Andrew Mumford

This text offers an analysis of key individuals who have contributed to both the theory and the practice of counterinsurgency (COIN), thereby providing a platform to engage more deeply with the debate over this issue. Insurgencies have become increasingly the dominant form of armed conflict from the World War I onwards, with the majority of all conflicts from 1945 to 2005 being 'irregular'.

'..the qualities of the volume make it interesting for international relations theorists, military historians, policymakers, would be warrior-scholars, and anyone else who has an interest in understanding irregular warfare and the origins of counterinsurgency.' -- E-IR Journal

Andrew Mumford is Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham, UK, and author of The Counter-Insurgency Myth: British Irregular Warfare Since World War II (Routledge 2011).

Bruno C. Reis is a post-doctoral researcher at ICS, Lisbon and at King’s College, London, and has an PhD in War Studies (2008).
