side outnumbers and outguns the other, the outnumbered and outgunned
side often resorts to guerrilla warfare to address the asymmetry and
frequently achieves victory. The twentieth century produced scores of
such conflicts, whether as sideshows of the world wars or as the main
events in wars of revolution or liberation. Guerrilla Warfare examines
twenty-one of these conflicts, shedding light on the remarkable
capabilities of unconventional fighters to outlast and defeat their
