Accidental Guerrilla by David Kilcullen
War today is far different from what we expected it to be. Counter-insurgency and protracted guerrilla warfare, not shock and awe, are the order of the day. This book surveys war as it is actually fought in the contemporary world.
"This book should be required reading for every American soldier, as well as anyone involved in the war on terrorKilcullen's central concept of the 'accidental guerrilla' is brilliant and the policy prescriptions that flow from it important. And that's not all; the book has many more insights drawn from various battlefields." --Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek "Kilcullen's compelling argument merits wide attention."--Publishers Weekly Starred Review "David Kilcullen, man of action and man of ideas, has produced a rare--and indispensable--guide to understanding and winning the so-called 'war on terror' by combining ideas of military theory with those of culture and tradition among tribal peoples." --Professor Akbar Ahmed, Chair of Islamic Studies, American University, Washington DC.
David Kilcullen holds a doctorate in political anthropology and is currently serving as a Special Advisor on Counterinsurgency for the US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice. He served with the Australian army in South East Asia before being seconded to the Pentagon after 9/11.
