Dr. O&rsquo;Neill&rsquo;s treatise is now required reading in American and British military schools and war colleges. Analytical and insightful, O&rsquo;Neill compares and contrasts many recent insurgencies and provides a theoretical framework in which to view current and future struggles.&rdquo;&mdash;<I>Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists</I><BR /> &#160;</DIV> (<i>Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists</i>)<br /><br /><DIV>&ldquo;Should be on every military professional&rsquo;s reading list and is a must read for anyone deploying to Afghanistan, Iraq, or any potential hotspot around the world. . . .
