      Focusing on the laws of insurgency, this volume draws from the insights of French officer David Galula, who experienced guerrilla warfare across three continents. It outlines effective strategies and tactics for countering insurgent threats, making it a valuable resource for American policymakers and military analysts seeking lessons from the counterinsurgency era of the 1960s, particularly in relation to contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book includes a new foreword by John A. Nagl, enhancing its relevance and context.

      Gesellschaft? Was soll das sein? Wie funktioniert sie? Welche Rolle spielen Einzelne und Gruppen dabei? Soziologie interessiert sich dafür, wie Menschen die Gesellschaft formen, in der sie leben. Dieser Band der Infocomics erklärt die Arbeit der Soziologen zur Industrialisierung, Aufklärung, demokratischen Revolution bis hin zu Globalisierung und Neoliberalismus. Dabei werden Akteure, Denkrichtungen und Teilgebiete vorgestellt: Stadtsoziologie, Machttheorien, Wissenssoziologie, ethnische und sexuelle Identität und vieles mehr. All das wird gewürzt durch die scharfe Feder des Illustrators Piero.
