The author, an ex-army man, who first saw conflict in the Malayan 'Emergency' and subsequent Konfrontasi in Borneo, left the army to become a conflict academic. He argues unusually that the insurgent movements of today are linked to those of the immediate prewar era. Analysis today tends to focus on 'the propaganda of the deed' whereas violent movements in general have a common origin, i.e. unaddressed grievances. 292 pages.
