    Default Small Wars: a wide reading list

    Moderator's Note

    Today I merged four other threads into this thread, which is one of the first ever threads (OK 75th). There are a number of similar reading lists (my search term today) which are more specialist: amphibious operations, advisers and the elusive General Mattis reading list. I am sure other lists exist, e.g. Searching for first hand accounts of UW:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=4613 (ends).


    What are you reading in regards to Small Wars? It doesn't necessarily have to be a narrow list focusing on Small Wars either, feel free to list anything that might bring more applicable knowledge to warfare.

    The Elaine Grossman book list is good a place to start.

    Some of the following authors are mentioned in the above list.

    Ralph Peter's essays and books.

    Chapter Ten in Colin Gray's 'Modern Strategy' covers Small War theory and practice.

    Thomas X. Hammes 'The Sling and The Stone'.

    H. John Poole's works.

    Max Boot's 'The Savage Wars of Peace'.

    'The Geography of Thought' by Richard Nisbett covers the Social psychological differences between Asian and Western thinking.

    India's version of Machiavelli: Kautilya's Arthasastra.
