Rice, Edward Earl - Wars of the Third Kind : Conflict in Underdeveloped Countries

Berkeley [CA], Univ. of California Press, (1990). Reprint, orig.wrappers. 23x15cm, 186 pp, PAPERBACK.. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ Most of the armed conflicts since World War II have been neither conventional nor nuclear, but wars of a third kind, usually fought in the Third World and relying heavily, although not exclusively, on guerrilla warfare. Edward E. Rice examines a number of conflicts of this sort, starting with the American Revolution, but concentrating on the Chinese Civil War, the Huk rebellion in the Philippines, the wars in Algeria and in Vietnam, and the repeated conflicts in Latin America. He explores the origin, organization, and motivation of wars of the third kind, their rural and popular nature, the conversion of guerrilla armies to regular armies, and conceptual approaches to counterinsurgency. Rice concludes with an analysis of the perils of these wars for the great powers" - Publisher's description.
