For the historian, Small Wars remains a useful and vital analysis of irregular warfare experiences ranging from Hocheâs suppression of the Vendée revolt during the French Revolution, to the British wars against semi-organized armies of Marathas and Sikhs in mid-nineteenth-century India, to the Boer War of 1899â1902.
The military specialist discovers in Callwell lessons applicable to what today is called âlow-intensity conflict.â his message is clear, and it is relevant to current debates about conflicts as diverse as those in Bosnia, Somalia, and Vietnam. Technological superiority is an important, but seldom critical, ingredient in the success of low-intensity operations. An ability to adapt to terrain and climate, to match the enemy in mobility and inventiveness, to collect intelligence, and above all the capacity to âseize what the enemy prizes most,â will determine success or failure. This reprint adds vital historical dimension to the growing literature on unconventional conflict.
About: Originally published in 1896, Small Wars is an ambitious attempt to analyze and draw lessons from Western experience in fighting campaigns of imperial conquest.
