Guerrilla Warfare: A Historical & Critical Study Walter Laquer
Its pretty good. He keeps drifting off into terrorism. My guess in an attempt to keep it relevant and because the difference is hard to distinguish. He wrote a companion study on terrorism that I also have and apparently one of the two together.
Also over looks or barely mentions movements I consider to be good examples - the FARC as case in point. Original edition was 1956, the one I have has a new introduction and is from 1986. Some of the movements he discusses in the past tense are still active - jumped the gun I guess.
Good history though. In both the Guerrilla Warfare and Terrorism books.

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
Still want to quit?
