"Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice"

it was written 40 years ago by David Galula.

im not sure if it tell the superpowers like the american empire or the soviet empire how to defeat the guerillas or is a book on how the guerilla to defeat the superpowers.

the book was mentioned in the atlantic article "why iraq has no army" which seemed to say that the american empire is doomed to be defeated in iraq over the long run
