Inhaltsangabe:

Recent events prove that we need to know more about terrorism and the forces designated to fight it. A foremost expert on guerrilla warfare presents, for the first time, a comprehensive investigation of covert military operations from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Among the discussions: the CIA handed out shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles "like lollipops" to Osama bin Laden and other mujahadeen leaders. Plus: why the Russians failed in Afghanistan and how "fighting dirty" sometimes meant helping drug dealers to earn their support.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Peter Harclerode is a former British Army officer whose most recent book is SECRET SOLDIERS (Cassell Military Paperback, January 2002). He is an acknowledged authority on guerrilla and terrorist warfare.
