"The guerrilla fights the war of the flea, and his military enemy suffers the dog`s disadvantages: too much to defend; too small, ubiquitous, and agile an enemy to come to grips with." With these words, Robert Taber began a revolution in conventional military thought that has dramatically impacted the way armed conflicts have been fought since the book`s initial publication in 1965. Whether ideological, nationalistic, or religious, all guerrilla insurgencies use similar tactics to advance their cause. War of the Flea`s timeless analysis of the guerrilla fighter`s means and methods provides a fundamental resource for any reader seeking to understand this distinct form of warfare and the challenge it continues to present to today`s armed forces in the Philippines, Colombia, and elsewhere. This new edition contains a foreword by Bard E. O`Neill, the director of studies of insurgency and revolution at the National War College.
