Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. v, [1], 29, [1] p. This is one of the Carlisle Papers in Security Strategy. Endnotes. From Wikipedia: "Irregular warfare is warfare in which one or more combatants are irregular military rather than regular forces. Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare, and so is asymmetric warfare. Irregular warfare favors indirect and asymmetric warfare approaches, though it may employ the full range of military and other capabilities, in order to erode the adversary s power, influence, and will. It is inherently a protracted struggle that will test the resolve of a state and its strategic partners. Concepts associated with irregular warfare are older than the term itself. "Irregular forces" is a term in international humanitarian law referring to a category of combatants consisting of individuals forming part of the armed forces of a party to an armed conflict, international or non-international, but not belonging to that party's regular forces and operating in or outside of their own territory even if the territory is under occupation."

Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. Glued binding. 364 p. Illustrations. Maps. Index. Introduction by Ambassador James R. Lilley. From Wikipedia: "The People's Liberation Army is the official term for the Armed forces of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The PLA consists of four professional service branches: the People's Liberation Army Ground Force, the People's Liberation Army Navy, the People's Liberation Army Air Force and the Second Artillery Corps. The PLA is the world's largest military force, with a strength of approximately 2, 285, 000 personnel. The PLA is under the command of the Central Military Commission of the CPC. A system of political officers embedded within the military assures party authority over the armed forces. The political and military leadership have made a concerted effort to create a professional military force. This conception of the role of the PLA requires the promotion of specialized officers who can understand modern weaponry and handle combined arms operations. Military service is compulsory by law."
