Documenting nearly five thousand years of "non-traditional" military conflict, the author traces the history of guerrilla warfare and terrorism from ancient times to the present day. The author believes that since the first emergence of rebel forces against powerful powers in the classical world - from Alexander the Great to the Roman Empire - people have found that guerrilla armed forces are more difficult to deal with than regular armies. This book leads readers through history while integrating the challenges that may arise from guerrilla warfare and terrorism in the twenty-first century. It can be said to be a key monograph in the field of unconventional warfare and is considered "a must-read book for scholars, military and government officials, as well as interested readers."
