Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. First Edition. First? Printing. 22 cm. ix, [3],180 pages. Index. Usual library markings, library pocket removed, DJ worn, scuffed, and soiled. Foreword by Stuart Alsop. James Eliot Cross served with the Office of Strategic Services in Europe during World War ii. In 1951 he was a research assistant to the Honorable George F. Kennan at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton, New Jersey. He then was a Research Associate at the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a staff member to the U.S. Delegation to the Manila Conference in 1954 and to the Gaither Committee in 1957. From 1958 ti 1961, Mr. Cross was a Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy and the Assistant Secretary for Research and Development. He then moved on to the Institute for Defense Analysis. Written at the height of the Cold War, this book analyzes the history of guerrilla warfare, and assesses its military and political implications at a time when Communism was felt to be a very real threat to the West. Derived from a Kirkus review: Whether guerrilla warfare is called "internal resistance" or "just wars of national liberation" or "counterinsurgency", those on the inside know that the Communists intend to use the technique as a chief instrument of Communist expansion. The author has been one of the few-too-few-criers in the wilderness. This book is a distillation of his years of study and experience. It is objective; the facts are here as guerrilla warfare is revealed as a military force, an economic force, a political force- from China to Cuba, from Greece to South Vietnam, from Laos to Yugoslavia. Some of the key figures have laid down the lines for all to read,- Mao, Giap, Guevara. The efforts of the West have been half-hearted, scattered, tenuous - and Cross makes no bones of stating his understanding of the reasons, his conviction that this phase of Communist expansion poses a threat that must be met. To the majority of readers neither the issue nor the half measures in solution have been recognized and this book serves a definite purpose in opening blind eyes.…
