A very modern cover for a book that was written in the 1980's and is now reprinted without any change apart from the introduction to the Second Edition. Well is it any good? If like me you love reading about the histories of Armies and counter-insurgency then this is nearly porn. It's divided into 7 chapters each one looking at a different army and it's experience with counter-insurgency between 1945 and 1984. Here are the chapters 1)The British Army: the Dhofar Campaign, 1970-1975 2) The French Army: from Indochina to Chad, 1946-1984 3) The American Army: the Vietnam War, 1965-1973 4) The Latin American Experience: the Tupamaros Campaign in Uruguay, 1963-1973 5) The Portuguese Army, the Campaign in Mozambique, 1964-1974 6) The Rhodesian Army, counter-insurgency, 1972-1979 7) The South African Army, the Campaign in South West Africa/Namibia since 1966. Every chapter is good, my favourite was chapter 3 on the US in Vietnam, very thoughtful and insightful.… (altro)
