America and Guerilla Warfare

Focusing on America's extensive history in guerrilla warfare, this book offers a comparative analysis of various conflicts involving U.S. forces. Through nine case studies, including the American Revolution and the Vietnam War, Anthony James Joes explores the origins and outcomes of these engagements, highlighting lessons learned and overlooked. He argues that the Vietnam experience was atypical and examines earlier conflicts that should have informed U.S. strategies. The work underscores the importance of understanding past guerrilla warfare as America faces ongoing global challenges.
