Interdisciplinary and diverse in political perspective, Praeger Security International publishes insightful and timely material on international security, including defense and foreign policy, strategy, regional security, military history, and terrorism. "This is a soldier's book, written by a professional with a classical military education... It has becme required reading for students of warfare generally, and especially for soldiers and policymakers dealingwith th wars in Afghanistan and Iraq." ARMY, April 2006 Inspired by his experiences as a French military officer and attache', the author realized the "need for a compass" in the suppression of insurgency, and he set out to "defne the laws of counterinsurgency warefare, to deduce from them its principles, and to outline the corresponding strategy and tactics." Written in 1964, his book in its new printing as part of the Praeger Security International (PSI) series Classics of the Counterinsurgency Era, is as relevant as it was 40 years ago-providing a template for the defeat of today's insurgents and terrorists. David Galula graduated from St. Cyr Military Academy in 1939. He served in the French army in the North Africa campaign and during the liberation of Italy and France during World War II. In addition, he later served in China, Greece, Indochina, and Algeria. Lieutenant Colonel Galula died in 1967.
