The book Invisible Armies offers a completely original narrative of war, proving that loosely organized partisan or guerrilla warfare is the dominant form of military conflict in history. Author and military historian Max Boot explores 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 unforgettable characters—from the Italian nationalist Guiseppe Garibaldi to the “Quiet American,” Edward Lansdale—Invisible Armies is “as readable as a novel” (Michael Korda, Daily Beast) and “a timely reminder to politicians and strategists of the valuable lessons of history” (Economist).
