The perceptible degeneration of the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan into insurgent quagmires has sparked a renewal of academic and military interest in the theory and practice of counterinsurgency. In light of this, this book provides a rigorous analysis of those individuals who have contributed to both the theory and practice of counterinsurgency: 'warrior-scholars'. These are soldiers who have bridged the academic-military divide by influencing doctrinal and intellectual debates about irregular warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrregular warfare is notoriously difficult for the military, and scholarly understanding about this type of warfare is also problematic; especially given the residual anti-intellectualism within Western militaries. Thus, \u003ci\u003eThe Theory and Practice of Irregular Warfare \u003c\/i\u003eis dedicated to analysing the best perceivable bridge between these two worlds. The authors explore the theoretical and practical contributions made by a selection of warrior-scholars of different nationalities, from periods ranging from the French colonial wars of the mid-twentieth century to the Israeli experiences in the Middle East; from contributions to American counter-insurgency made during the Iraq War, to the thinkers who shaped the US war in Vietnam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of counterinsurgency, strategic studies, defence studies, war studies and security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Mumford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367601303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367601300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Andrew Mumford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44255033983231,"sku":"9780367601300","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99d2ffb1-ac7d-435b-aff1-32dd28b97c8a.jpg?v=1694615741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theory-and-practice-of-andrew-mumford-9780367601300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
