Anthony James Joes, professor of political science at St. Joseph's University, is the author of Resisting Rebellion: The History and Politics of Counterinsurgency.
A brilliant comparative study of America's involvement with guerrilla war. The author writes with elegance, passion, and rigor and masterfully weaves together deep knowledge of history, strategic principles, as well as the literature of guerrilla war. The book's greatest attribute is drawing lessons about how to win and how to lose across a range of historical experiences. - Gabriel Marcella, U.S. Army War College; ""The nine case studies and their analysis make an excellent textbook as Joes describes the necessary ingredients for successful guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency, presents case studies of both, and examines the results."" - Journal of Conflict Studies; ""His summaries of the major guerrilla conflicts and extensive notes make this a useful book for a broad range of readers."" - Almanac of Seapower
