As fitting for the twenty-first century as von Clausewitz�s On War was in its own time, Invisible Armies is a complete global history of guerrilla uprisings through the ages.Beginning with the first insurgencies in the ancient world�when Alexander the Great discovered that fleet nomads were harder to defeat than massive conventional armies�Max Boot, best-selling author and military advisor in Iraq and Afghanistan, masterfully guides us from the Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire up through the horrors of the French-Indochina War and the shadowy, post-9/11 battlefields of today. Relying on a diverse cast of unforgettable characters�not only Mao and Che but also the legendary Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi, the archaeologist-turned�military commander T. E. Lawrence, and the �Quiet American� Edward Lansdale, among others�Boot explodes everything we thought we knew about unconventional combat. The result is both an enthralling read and our most important work on nontraditional warfare. 70 illustrations; 8 maps
