To understand the new American military strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan you could download a copy of the Army's counterinsurgency field manual, FM 3-24. Or you could read the elegant, entertaining books by French Lt. Col. David Galula that inspired Gen. David Petraeus in producing FM 3-24. Galula wrote 'Pacification in Algeria' in 1963 at the RAND Corporation, followed in 1964 by 'Counterinsurgency Warfare' at Harvard. Now, both have been reissued. 'Pacification' tracks Galula's two years as a company commander in Algeria and the development of his ideas about counterinsurgency into a successful formula soon adopted by the French force in Algeria... The questions Galula raises in the gripping 'Pacification' couldn't be more current. The French haven't won any wars in a long time, but they excel at theorizing about them... Now, practice is catching up with theory, both in Iraq, where American forces are leaving Forward Operating Bases for quarters in the cities, and in Afghanistan. Ann Marlowe
Synopsis
As viewers of Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers will attest, and as Bruce Hoffman points out in his foreword to this new edition of Pacification in Algeria: 1956-1958, the French experience in Algeria's war of independence provides astonishing relevance to the U.S. occupation in Iraq and the war on terrorism. In this volume, originally published in 1963, David Galula recounts his experiences in Algeria at the height of the rebellion, and presents his theories on counterinsurgency and pacification. He confronts the larger political, psychological, and military aspects of the Algerian war, and provides a context for present-day counterinsurgency operations. This groundbreaking work, now declassified, retains its impact and relevance, presenting successful approaches to predicting, managing, and resolving insurgent and guerilla conflict., When Algerian nationalists launched a rebellion against French rule in November 1954, France was forced to cope with a varied and adaptable Algerian strategy. In this volume, originally published in 1963, David Galula reconstructs the story of his highly successful command at the height of the rebellion. This groundbreaking work, with a new foreword by Bruce Hoffman, remains relevant to present-day counterinsurgency operations.

    Book came nicely packaged, and wrapped, and it came exactly as it was shown in the pictures. I appreciate that since I was interested in this book, and the seller was kind to send an offer, and I was happy to accept it. As a fan of ancient history regarding daily life during those times, this was a unique find! Great seller!

    A 1st edition book published in 1978 - It came in near fine condition and was well packaged. The book was wraped in bubble wrap and shiped in a cardboard box. Thanks for a great experience. One of the best book sellers that I have worked with- highly recommended.
