Unconventional warfare

Abstract

The world of today can look back at some fifty years of widespread and virtually continuous political revolution. Prob­ ably more governments have come into being, passed through drastic change, or ceased to exist than in any comparable period in history. Certainly a larger proportion of the world’s popula­ tion has been involved in and has been aware of these upheavals than was ever the case in earlier days. It is the political pheno­ menon of the twentieth century, the visible wind of revolution, stirring in many continents.
