520			_aInsurgency is very old but it has acquired immense importance during the twentieth century because of its successes against colon regimes. Vietnam, where a super power like USA, was forced to withdraw became a model of war of liberation. However, insurgency techniques can also serve as a weapon to subvert and weaken a target country without resorting to costly conventional warfare. Developing countries are particularly susceptible to this type of insidious attacks. Though scholars have theorised regarding generations of civil strife, none has postulated conditions which cause emergence of insurgency. This book is unique in that it describes the conditions in which insurgency will erupt, substantiated by an examination of insurgency cies all over the world. It is a synthesis of theory and practice of counterinsurgency from the pen of a scholar who has dealt with a variety of insurgencies in several parts of India.
