Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present

â€œDestined to be the classic account of what may be the oldest . . . hardest form of war.â€â€”John Nagl, Wall Street Journal

Invisible Armies presents an entirely original narrative of warfare, which demonstrates that, far from the exception, loosely organized partisan or guerrilla

warfare has been the dominant form of military conflict throughout history. New York Times best-selling author and military historian Max Boot traces guerrilla

warfare and terrorism from antiquity to the present, narrating nearly thirty centuries of unconventional military conflicts. Filled with dramatic analysis of strategy and tactics, as well as many memorable charactersâ€”from Italian nationalist Guiseppe Garibaldi to the â€œQuiet American,â€ Edward Lansdaleâ€”Invisible Armies is â€œas readable as a novelâ€ (Michael Korda, Daily Beast) and â€œa timely reminder to politicians and generals of the hard-earned lessons of historyâ€ (Economist).
