Book Description
Low Intensity Operations, Subversion, Insurgency, and Peacekeeping by Frank Kitson Low Intensity Operations, Subversion, Insurgency, and Peacekeeping by Frank Kitson

When this book was first published in the 1970s, the US was losing an insurgency in Vietnam, and Great Britain was in its final stages as a colonial power.

Kitson, a veteran of many, decided to put his thoughts on paper as to how he thought these battles could be won.
