Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In the first few years of the post-9/11 era, the established models for fighting 'small wars' proved distressingly ineffective against resilient insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the insurgents fought Western armies to a stalemate, it was clear that a new approach was necessary. David Kilcullen, a former Australian army officer, and one of the world's most influential experts on guerrilla warfare, became a key architect of the West's revamped military strategy. As the senior advisor to General David Patraeus in Iraq, Kilcullen's revolutionary approach to counterinsurgency was an intellectual foundation for 'the Surge' of 2007.In The Accidental Guerrilla, Kilcullen takes us on the ground to uncover the face of modern warfare, illuminating both the global challenge (the 'War on Terrorism') and small wars across the world in Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Thailand, East Timor, and Pakistan. He explains that today's conflicts are a complex hybrid of contrasting trends that America has tended to conflate, blurring the distinction between local and global struggles, and thereby enormously complication our challenges. The West has continually misidentified insurgents with limited aims and legitimate grievances-'accidental guerrillas'-as members of a unified worldwide terror network. We must learn how to disentangle these strands, develop strategies that deal with global threats, avoid local conflicts where possible, and win them where necessary.Coloured with gripping battlefield experiences that range from the jungles and highlands of South-East Asia and the mountains of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border to the dusty towns of the Middle East, The Accidental Guerrilla will, quite simply, change the way we think about war.'David Kilcullen's Accidental Guerilla is a richly reported and well written account of the new way of war of the 21st century; how those 'small wars' will differ from previous conflicts and what they have in common with past insurgencies and counterinsurgencies. Analytically very sharp and also an engrossing read, Kilcullen's book is destined to become a classic study of warfare in our new century.'-Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know, and CNN's national security analyst'This lucid and compelling book describes the challenges in contemporary warfare as counterinsurgency and counterterrorism merge, and conventional conflicts recede. It is an important primer for the decade.'-Philip Bobbitt, author of Terror and Consent'This book is essential . Kilcullen skillfully interprets the future of counterinsurgency, the proper use of military force and what we must learn from our losses and mistakes. After reading The Accidental Guerrilla, one is left to wonder why the Pentagon did not listen to his sage advice back in 2003.'-New York Times Book Review David Kilcullen is the world's foremost expert on this way of war, and in The Accidental Guerrilla, he surveys war as it is actually fought in the contemporary world. It is based on extensive fieldwork and examines how terrorists exploit traditional societies and explores the backlash created by external military intervention.
