Counterinsurgency in Africa: The Portuguese Way of War 1961-1974 by John Cann

As the United States fights an insurgency far from home, much could be learned from the Portuguese who fought a distant war on a limited budget while successfully shifting the burden to indigenous forces.

From the Foreword:

"Portugal was the first colonial power to arrive in Africa and the last to leave. As other European states were granting independence to their African possessions, Portugal chose to stay and fight despite the small odds of success. That it did so successfully for thirteen years across the three fronts of Angola, Guine', and Mozambique remains a remarkable achievement, particularly for a nation of such modest means….The Portuguese approach to the conflict was distinct in that it sought to combine the two-pronged national strategy of containing the cost of the war and of spreading the burden to the colonies, with the solution on the battlefield….Even today Portugal's systematic and logical approach to its insurgency challenge holds valuable lessons for any nation forced to wage a small war on the cheap".
