Invisible Armies

"Destined to be the classic account of what may be the oldest ... hardest form of war."-John Nagl, Wall Street Journal

Description

Invisible Armies presents an entirely original narrative of warfare, demonstrating that, far from being the exception, loosely organised partisan or guerrilla warfare has been the dominant form of military conflict throughout history.

New York Times best-selling author and military historian Max Boot traces guerrilla warfare and terrorism from antiquity to the present, narrating nearly thirty centuries of unconventional military conflicts.

Filled with dramatic analysis of strategy and tactics, as well as many memorable characters—from Italian nationalist Guiseppe Garibaldi to the "Quiet American," Edward Lansdale—Invisible Armies is "as readable as a novel" (Michael Korda, Daily Beast) and "a timely reminder to politicians and generals of the hard-earned lessons of history" (Economist).
