  David Kilcullen is one of the world's most influential experts on
counterinsurgency and modern warfare. A Senior Counterinsurgency Advisor to General David Petraeus in Iraq, his vision
of war dramatically influenced America's decision to rethink its military strategy in Iraq and implement "the surge."
  Now, in The Accidental Guerrilla, Kilcullen provides a remarkably fresh perspective on the War on Terror. Kilcullen
takes us "on the ground" to uncover the face of modern warfare, illuminating both the big global war (the "War on
Terrorism") and its relation to the associated "small wars" across the globe: Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines,
Indonesia, Thailand, Chechnya, Pakistan and North Africa. Kilcullen sees today's conflicts as a complex pairing of
contrasting trends: local social networks and worldwide movements; traditional and postmodern culture; local
insurgencies seeking autonomy and a broader pan-Islamic campaign. He warns that America's actions in the war on
terrorism have tended to conflate these trends, blurring the distinction between local and global struggles and thus
enormously complicating our challenges. Indeed, the US had done a poor job of applying different tactics to these very
different situations, continually misidentifying insurgents with limited aims and legitimate grievances (whom he calls
"accidental guerrillas") as part of a coordinated worldwide terror network. We must learn how to disentangle these
strands, develop strategies that deal with global threats, avoid local conflicts where possible, and win them where
necessary.
  Colored with gripping battlefield experiences that range from the jungles and highlands of Southeast
Asia to the mountains of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border to the dusty towns of the Middle East, The Accidental Guerrilla
will, quite simply, change the way we think about war. This much anticipated book will be a must read for everyone
concerned about the war on terror.
  
  Editorial
Review
  From Publishers Weekly
  Starred Review.
Kilcullen, adviser on counterinsurgency to General Petraeus, defines accidental guerrillas as locals fighting primarily
because outsiders (often Westerners) are intruding into their physical and cultural space, but they may also be
galvanized by high-tech, internationally oriented ideologues. This interaction of two kinds of nonstate opponents
renders both traditional counterterrorism and counterinsurgency inadequate. Kilcullen uses Afghanistan and Iraq as
primary case studies for a new kind of war that relies on an ability to provoke Western powers into protracted,
exhausting, expensive interventions. Kilcullen presents two possible responses. Strategic disruption keeps existing
terrorists off balance. Military assistance attacks the conditions producing accidental guerrillas. That may mean
full-spectrum assistance, involving an entire society. Moving beyond a simplistic war on terror depends on rebalancing
military and nonmilitary elements of power. It calls for a long view, a measured approach and a need to distinguish
among various enemies. It requires limiting the role of government agencies in favor of an indirect approach emphasizing
local interests and local relationships. Not least, Kilcullen says, breaking the terrorist cycle requires establishing
patterns of virtue, moral authority, and credibility in the larger society. Kilcullen's compelling argument merits wide
attention. (Mar.)

  Reviews
  "This book should be required reading for
every American soldier, as well as anyone involved in the war on terror. Kilcullen's central concept of the 'accidental
guerrilla' is brilliant and the policy prescriptions that flow from it important. And that's not all; the book has many
more insights drawn from various battlefields." --Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek
 

  "Kilcullen's compelling argument merits wide attention."--Publishers Weekly Starred
Review
  
  "David Kilcullen, man of action and man of ideas, has produced a rare--and
indispensable--guide to understanding and winning the so-called 'war on terror' by combining ideas of military theory
with those of culture and tradition among tribal peoples." --Professor Akbar Ahmed, Chair of
Islamic Studies, American University, Washington DC.
