Shultz, Richard H., Dew, Andrea J., Insurgents,Terrorists and Militias, New York: Columbia University Press, 2006

We are not done with war yet. World’s pacifists can sit aside and think of new ways to uproot the social or political causes of conflict or wait for the next turning point in history to proclaim the end of war and be once again disappointed. In the meantime, as war remains relevant, Richard Shultz and Andrea Dew attempt to shed some light on the “something new, something old” nature of contemporary warfare that seems to puzzle many state officials and academics, even more so since a glaring example of it (Iraq) is bogging down the world’s superpower.
