From Tom Mays, professor of Military History from Humbolt State University, comes this compelling narrative history of how Americans have fought unconventional warfare from our British American roots, through the anti-insurgent campaigns of the war in Afghanistan. Mays provides the reader with a concise, and engaging story of how the American approach to guerrilla warfare has been molded and executed and how these small scale engagements have been an integral in the success of our nation’s battles.
