Robert Taber,Bard E. O'Neill
â€œThe guerrilla fights the war of the flea, and his military enemy suffers the dogâ€™s disadvantages: too much to defend; too small, ubiquitous, and agile an enemy to come to grips with.â€ With these words, Robert Taber began a revolution in conventional military thought that has dramatically impacted the way armed conflicts have been fought since the bookâ€™s initial publication in 1965. Whether ideological, nationalistic, or religious, all guerrilla insurgencies use similar tactics to advance their cause. ,War of the Flea's, timeless analysis of the guerrilla fighterâ€™s means and methods provides a fundamental resource for any reader seeking to understand this distinct form of warfare and the challenge it continues to present to todayâ€™s armed forces in the Philippines, Colombia, and elsewhere.
